2017 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · LC17 AXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a decline in preventative maintenance. During the test on 26 February 2026 at 38,846 miles, the car initially failed due to a seriously weakened nearside front inner brake disc and perishing rear tyres. While the vehicle passed the immediate retest following repairs, the presence of a structural brake failure suggests that components are being run until reaching a critical state rather than being serviced proactively. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,316 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the March 2023 test at 25,629 miles and the February 2025 test at 33,390 miles, where only 7,761 miles were covered over two years. This low usage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the February 2026 failure where rear tyres had begun to crack and perish from lack of movement despite sufficient tread depth. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system to ensure the nearside front disc was properly replaced and that the offside counterpart shows no signs of uneven wear or pitting. The 2025 advisory regarding front tyres worn to the edge suggests a possible past alignment issue or suspension bushing wear that should be verified. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls for dry rot and an inspection of the underbody for perished seals are essential to ensure the car has not suffered from long periods of standing.
