2019 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · LM69 ETA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from consumable neglect to emerging component wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 46,931 miles passed with an advisory for light misting of oil on the offside front shock absorber. This indicates the beginning of a seal failure. While not yet a failure point, it represents a departure from the clean records seen in the vehicle's earlier years of service. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its seven-year life. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 9,500 miles between the October 2022 test at 21,838 miles and the November 2023 test, followed by another 9,500 miles by late 2024. This low annual mileage suggests that mechanical components like the drivetrain and rubber bushings are more susceptible to age-related degradation than high-mileage stress. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension to determine if the damper misting has progressed to a significant leak requiring immediate replacement. The November 2023 failure at 31,385 miles revealed poor tyre management, including exposed cords and uneven edge wear, which was followed up by a 2024 advisory for perishing rubber on the rear tyres. Given the low mileage, the age of the rubber is likely the primary concern rather than tread depth. Check all sidewalls for dry cracking and ensure the alignment is correct to prevent the recurring premature wear patterns previously noted in the history.
