2022 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · NY04 AMY

The most recent MOT, carried out on 20 October 2025, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards. With only a single MOT entry available, there is insufficient data to identify a trend, but the clean result suggests that the car has been maintained to a satisfactory level up to that point and there are no obvious deteriorations evident from the official record. At 25 824 miles recorded in September 2026, the Audi Q2 averages roughly 6 500 miles per annum over its four‑year life. This mileage is comfortably within the normal range for a compact premium hatchback of this age and does not imply excessive wear. The relatively modest annual distance points to either predominantly urban or mixed‑type usage, which generally places less cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension than high‑speed motorway miles, but it also raises the possibility that the car may have spent periods of inactivity, especially during any gaps between ownership or during the COVID‑related slowdown. Given the clean MOT and moderate mileage, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear patterns that can arise from long‑term storage or exposure to UV; confirm that the tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm and that the tyre age is under six years, as per tyre manufacturers’ recommendations. Inspect the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulphation or reduced cranking power, particularly if the vehicle has been idle for extended periods; a load test or a check of the electrolyte level (if applicable) will reveal any loss of capacity. Verify that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – are at the correct levels and appear clear, noting that many manufacturers advise fluid replacement at twelve‑month intervals regardless of mileage to guard against moisture ingress and degradation. Finally, assess the condition of the suspension and braking components, as these can develop corrosion or seized joints when a car sits idle. Push the front and rear corners to listen for any clunking that would indicate worn bushings, deteriorated coil springs or loose mounting bolts. During a short test drive, pay attention to any steering wheel vibration, brake pedal pulsation or a soft pedal feel, which could reveal disc rust, glazed pads or caliper binding that may not have been evident at MOT. Confirm that the service booklet contains stamps for regular oil changes, filter replacements and any scheduled timing‑belt or chain inspections appropriate to the model, as a complete service history will reinforce the overall roadworthiness of the vehicle.
