2017 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · LK67 DYB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-21 at 42,334 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car has maintained a stable roadworthiness status over the past three annual tests, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by the tester. The absence of advisories or failings across all four MOT cycles suggests the vehicle has been kept in a consistent condition, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance beyond the scope of the MOT. Buyers should note that the 2026 test is now overdue, meaning the vehicle has been operating without a recent official inspection for over a year—standard practice would require an immediate MOT upon purchase. The recorded mileage of 42,334 miles over nine years equates to approximately 4,704 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The most notable pattern is the consistent, gradual accumulation of mileage, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity between tests. For example, the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests saw 6,515 miles logged in just under a year, while the 2023–2024 interval added a similar 6,653 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been used regularly but not excessively, which may imply lighter duty or perhaps storage during certain periods. However, low mileage alone does not guarantee absence of wear—critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers can degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the clean MOT history, the primary areas for a buyer’s immediate inspection should focus on components that often fail silently or exhibit wear beyond what MOT tests detect. The suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging, excessive play, or corrosion, as these are common points of failure in Audi models of this era. Brake discs and pads, though not flagged in tests, may show uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, where rust or impact damage could compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these are frequently overlooked but critical for emissions compliance and structural soundness.
