2019 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · KL64 CON

A consistent pattern of brake disc wear emerges across the MOT history of this 2019 Audi Q2, with both the front and rear axles flagged for surface degradation at successive tests. The most recent examination on 17 August 2026 recorded advisories for both rear brake discs showing pitting and scoring, while the prior two tests on 4 August 2025 and 2 August 2023 passed with no recorded defects. The earlier 2024 test noted advisory wear on both front discs, and a 2022 entry flagged perishing cracking on the two rear tyres. No failures or dangerous defects have been recorded, and the vehicle has passed every annual test, but the recurring disc advisories indicate an ongoing wear pattern that warrants close attention rather than dismissal. Recorded mileage of 56,069 miles across seven years equates to an annual accumulation of approximately 8,010 miles, which sits within typical usage parameters for a vehicle of this age. There are no notable gaps in testing history, with annual examinations recorded consistently from 2022 through 2026, and the mileage progression between tests appears steady. This level of use is sufficient to keep mechanical components, brake systems, and tyres working through their intended wear cycles without indicating either excessive high-mileage degradation or the long-standing concerns associated with very low annual mileage. From a buyer perspective, the brake disc advisories across both axles are the primary mechanical focus. With rear discs now showing pitting and scoring at the latest test and front discs having been flagged the year prior, a prospective buyer should anticipate that disc replacement, or at minimum precision machining, may be approaching. On a test drive, listen for any binding or scraping noises from the wheels, particularly when first releasing the handbrake or moving off from cold, which can indicate a seized caliper contributing to uneven disc wear. Feel for any vibration or judder through the brake pedal under moderate to firm stops, which would suggest disc runout beyond serviceable limits, and check that the vehicle does not pull to one side under braking, pointing toward uneven pad transfer or hydraulic imbalance. Inspect the visible faces of all four discs through the wheel spokes for a pronounced lip at the outer edge, deep scoring, or blueing from heat, any of which would confirm the advisories have progressed beyond a cosmetic stage. The tyre advisory from 2022 concerning perishing cracking on the rear pair should also inform the inspection, as cracking of this nature can recur with age even on tyres with adequate tread depth. Examine the sidewalls and tread shoulders of all four tyres closely for hairline cracks, particularly in the flex zones, and verify the manufacturing date stamps to ensure none are excessively old. Underpinning all of this is the need to confirm the brake fluid and oil service intervals are documented, as the recurring disc wear pattern is more easily managed on a vehicle receiving regular mechanical attention. Beyond these flagged areas, the test record shows no advisories relating to suspension components, corrosion, exhaust integrity, or structural elements, leaving the principal mechanical concerns localised to the braking system.
