2017 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · ME11 NAN

A recurring pattern of structural corrosion on the rear sub-frame and a history of tyre degradation defines this vehicle's roadworthiness record. Despite passing the most recent test on 13 July 2026, the advisory regarding rear outer sub-frame corrosion indicates a long-term deterioration of the chassis that has persisted since at least 2025, while the record also shows a major failure in July 2024 due to mismatched tyre sizes on the nearside front axle. This combination of structural and tyre-related issues suggests a vehicle that requires careful scrutiny regarding maintenance standards and component longevity. With a recorded mileage of 98,808 miles accumulated over approximately nine years, the annual usage rate of roughly 11,000 miles aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age and model. The absence of significant gaps in the MOT testing history implies regular road usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. However, the specific tyre failure in 2024, which resulted in a major defect for differing sizes on the same axle, indicates a potential maintenance oversight or error that should be verified against the current tyre specification. Given the repeated advisories regarding rear sub-frame corrosion, a thorough visual inspection of the chassis rails and mounting points is essential to assess the extent of the rust and ensure the structural integrity remains within acceptable limits. The vehicle has also shown a history of tyre cracking and perishing, particularly on the front axle in 2025 and the rear axle in 2021, which necessitates checking the tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres to confirm they meet legal standards and are not approaching the end of their service life. Beyond the structural and tyre concerns, the MOT record highlights recurring issues with the driver's field of vision, specifically regarding engine covers and undertrays. The advisories noting these components obscured the view prior to testing suggest that they may be missing or improperly fitted, which could pose a distraction while driving. Furthermore, the windscreen damage recorded since 2023 has not yet adversely affected visibility, but the condition of the glass should be monitored to ensure no cracks are propagating toward the driver's line of sight.
