2021 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · MA71 VBE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-09-30 at 19,506 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2025-09-29 at the same mileage resulted in a failure despite no defects being noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues. The 2024-10-14 test at 15,007 miles also showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance history in terms of recorded faults. The lack of recurring mechanical or structural issues in the records implies the car has been well-maintained, though the abrupt failure without explanation raises questions about the reliability of the testing process. The vehicle’s mileage of 19,506 miles over five years equates to approximately 3,901 miles annually, which is significantly lower than average. This suggests minimal usage, potentially leading to understeering of components like the battery, tyres, and fluids. A notable gap exists between the 2024 test (15,007 miles) and the 2025 tests (19,506 miles), spanning 4,499 miles over 11 months, which may indicate periods of inactivity. The sparse data from 2024 to 2025, with only two tests, limits insight into gradual wear, but the absence of defects in both tests supports the conclusion of a generally stable condition. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as dry-rotted tyres, corroded brake components, or a weak battery. The suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, warrants scrutiny, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. Additionally, the exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels should be checked, as infrequent use may accelerate rust in vulnerable zones. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the unexplained test failure and low mileage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
