2020 Audi SQ2 Black ED Tfsi Quat S-A 2.0L Petrol · KS20 BFL

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 25,316 miles flagged all four tyres for perishing and cracking, indicating that while the car passes the test, the rubber components are degrading due to age and inactivity rather than tread wear. This follows an advisory in June 2024 regarding thin brake pads, suggesting that consumables are only being addressed once they approach failure limits. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 17,405 miles and the 2024 test at 21,135 miles, the car covered only 3,730 miles. This low frequency of use often leads to the issues observed, specifically the chemical degradation of of materials during long standing periods as seen in the recent tyre defects. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyre set, as the 2025 advisory suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite having sufficient depth. The inspector should also verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure the 2024 advisory regarding thin pads was met with quality parts. Given the low mileage, a check for surface corrosion on the braking system and suspension bushings is essential, as these components often seize or perish when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods.
