2020 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · MV20 XWS

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on March 16 2026 at 74,785 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. While the car suffered a failure in early 2023, the subsequent two years of clean passes suggest that the current owner has addressed identified faults and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage profile reflects consistently high usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per annum. There is a significant jump in mileage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the car covered 18,631 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation typically accelerates the wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, brake components, and tyres. The consistent annual testing interval suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for long-distance commuting rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close-range inspection of the front-end suspension and tyre condition. The March 2025 test at 59,611 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, which often points to wheel alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. Given the high mileage, it is vital to check for uneven tyre wear across the axle to ensure the control arms and bushings do not require immediate replacement. The 2023 failure at 26,494 miles due to a leaking battery and exposed cords on the nearside rear tyre indicates past lapses in neglect, but the buyer should verify the current battery tray for signs of corrosion or acid damage. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or brake binding in the record, but the high mileage justifies a thorough check of the brake discs and pads for thinning or excessive pitting.
