2017 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · MT17 FYR

The 2017 Audi Q2 presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 1 May 2026 at 73,925 miles with zero defects. Earlier headlamp aim issues flagged during the 2 May 2025 test at 63,513 miles were promptly rectified, as demonstrated by the pass recorded later that same day. No structural or recurring mechanical defects appear in the recent history, indicating the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards without any outstanding advisories. Accumulating 73,925 miles over nine years equates to roughly 8,214 miles annually, a typical figure for this age. The mileage progression shows steady use. Between 31 May 2024 at 55,609 miles and 2 May 2025 at 63,513 miles, the vehicle covered 7,904 miles. The subsequent leap to 73,925 miles by 1 May 2026 represents 10,412 miles in the following year, reflecting a slight uptick in recent usage but nothing that suggests excessive strain on the drivetrain or consumables. Despite the clean recent record, the 29 May 2024 failure at 55,609 miles reveals a period of neglected upkeep. The tester flagged an inoperative engine MIL, an offside front tyre below the 1.6mm legal limit, and a non-functioning front windscreen washer. A buyer should inspect the offside front suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, which could explain the headlamp aim deviations recorded the following year. Checking the condition of the brake discs and calipers is also prudent, as binding or uneven wear often accompanies suspension neglect. The windscreen stone chip noted in May 2025 requires a close visual inspection to ensure it has not spread beyond the driver's primary visual field. Verify the MIL illuminates upon ignition and that the headlamp aim remains stable over bumps, as recurring aim faults often point to worn damping or loose headlamp mounting components. The offside front tyre wear pattern from 2024 should prompt an inspection of the tracking and wheel alignment to prevent uneven wear on the current tyres.
