2017 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · LK 1019

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a largely clean MOT history and a pass on 2025-10-22 with no defects recorded. While the overall trend is stable, a period of degradation was noted in late 2023, where specific concerns regarding tyre integrity and brake disc surfaces were flagged. The absence of these issues in the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that these components were likely addressed, returning the vehicle to a defect-free status. The recorded mileage of 15,060 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 1,673 miles per year. Such a low rate of accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Mechanically, this typically results in minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension bushings, but it increases the likelihood of age-related deterioration in rubber components and surface corrosion on braking hardware due to inactivity. Attention should be directed toward the braking system and tyres, given the 2023 advisories for pitted and scored front inner brake discs and perishing tyres. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation under braking, which would indicate that the brake discs remain uneven or warped. A thorough visual inspection of all four tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure no further cracking or perishing is present, as the previous records highlight a susceptibility to age-related rubber failure. Beyond the braking system, the low usage profile warrants a check for any stiffness in the steering or suspension. The buyer should listen for knocks or creaks when navigating speed bumps or turning the wheel at low speeds, as infrequently used suspension components can sometimes seize or lose lubrication. Ensuring the brakes do not bind or drag during deceleration will confirm that the calipers are operating smoothly despite the vehicle's limited road use.
