2019 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · L11 VGO

The 2019 Audi Q2 presents a solid mechanical picture overall, with a maintenance trend that remains broadly stable. The most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-09-09 at 31,535 miles, resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged several advisories that suggest consumable wear is now beginning to surface. Both the nearside and offside front tyres were noted as slightly damaged, cracking or perishing under item 5.2.3 (d) (ii), while the rear brake pads were reported as wearing thin under item 1.1.13 (a) (ii). A nearside rear child seat was also fitted at the time of the test, preventing full inspection of the adult seatbelt. These are not failures, but they do indicate that basic rubber and friction components are approaching replacement age. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very light use. Between the March 2022 test at 21,198 miles and the September 2024 test at 28,822 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 7,600 miles over approximately two and a half years. That is a modest rate even before accounting for the gap. From September 2024 to September 2025, the car added only 2,713 miles. At roughly 4,500 miles per year across its seven-year life, this is well below the UK average. Low annual mileage can preserve drivetrain and suspension components, but it also means tyres and rubber bushes may age out rather than wear out, which aligns with the perishing noted on the front tyres. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should pay close attention to the condition of all four tyres, checking the date stamps and sidewalls for further cracking, particularly on the fronts where the advisory was raised. The rear brake pads were described as wearing thin at the last test, so a visual check of pad thickness and disc condition is warranted to determine whether replacement has since been carried out. The front brake pads and discs should also be inspected, as uneven wear patterns can develop on vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Given the low mileage and the age of the car, rubber suspension bushes, dust boots, and exhaust flexible joints should be examined for perishing rather than mechanical wear. The MOT record itself is clean and consistent, with no failures across any of the four tests. The absence of corrosion, emissions, or structural advisories is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. The recurring theme in the most recent test is one of age-related rubber degradation on consumable items rather than any underlying mechanical concern. A thorough in-person inspection of the tyres, brakes, and rubber components, combined with a short road test to check for any binding or uneven braking, should give a prospective buyer confidence in the vehicle's current condition.
