2017 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · NV66 WKA

The 2017 Audi Q2 presents a stable and improving mechanical picture based on its MOT record. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 44,066 miles passed with zero defects, marking four consecutive clean certificates. A single failure recorded on 7 December 2022 at 41,783 miles flagged excessively fluctuating service brakes on both front wheels, indicating a juddering or warped disc issue at the time. That defect was rectified the same day, and no brake-related advisories or failures have reappeared since. The trend is clearly resolving, with consistent passes over the subsequent three years. The mileage profile is notably low. Across nine years, the vehicle has covered 44,066 miles, averaging roughly 4,896 miles annually. The annual increments between tests are tight and consistent: 634 miles between December 2024 and December 2025, 1,071 miles between November 2023 and December 2024, and 477 miles between the two December 2022 entries. This suggests light, regular use rather than prolonged standing, which is positive for mechanical components but worth verifying against the vehicle's service history for oil change intervals. Despite the clean recent record, the 2022 front brake fluctuation failure warrants attention. Buyers should inspect the condition of the front brake discs and pads in person, checking for uneven wear, lipping, or hot-spotting that could indicate a recurring issue. The nearside and offside fronts were both affected simultaneously, which points to a possible batch issue with disc quality or a caliper fault. A road test under moderate braking from speed will reveal any residual judder. Beyond the brakes, the low annual mileage means rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and exhaust mounts may have aged more than they have worn. Tyre date codes should be checked, as perished rubber is common on lightly used vehicles. Underneath, inspect for corrosion on the subframe, brake lines, and suspension mounting points, particularly if the car has been used for short trips in winter conditions. The MOT record is reassuringly clean, but a physical inspection of these ageing components remains essential before purchase.
