2020 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · LX20 PZF

The 2020 Audi Q2 passed its most recent MOT on 12 July 2025 at 40,199 miles, but the maintenance trend is not reassuring. The tester flagged the offside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, indicating alignment or suspension wear. This single advisory sits on top of a pattern of recurring brake and tyre faults stretching back three years, suggesting the previous owner treated consumable replacement as reactive rather than preventative. The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the record implies a hands-off approach to upkeep. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a six-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,700 miles per year. The annual tests show a steady climb from 22,638 miles in June 2023 to 30,558 miles in July 2024 and 40,199 miles in July 2025, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. The vehicle has been used consistently rather than sitting idle, which reduces concerns about long-term standing corrosion but places normal wear expectations on brakes, tyres, and suspension bushes. The MOT history reveals a recurring theme of tyre and brake neglect. In June 2023, both front and rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin on both sides. By July 2024, the nearside front and rear pads were again wearing thin, with the rear pads described as very low and requiring close monitoring. That same test flagged cracking or perishing on the offside front, offside rear, and nearside rear tyres. A buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls carefully for age-related cracking, check the date codes against the rubber condition, and verify whether the brake pads and discs have been replaced since the July 2025 test. The edge wear on the offside front inner tyre is a specific concern. Inner edge wear typically points to excessive negative camber or worn suspension bushes and joints, not just a simple alignment drift. A buyer should have the front suspension inspected for worn track rod ends, wishbone bushes, and drop link condition, and a four-wheel alignment check is advisable. While there are no structural corrosion or emissions failures on record, the cumulative pattern of deferred tyre and brake work suggests the mechanical components underneath deserve a thorough hands-on inspection before purchase.
