2021 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · PL21 MSV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 June 2026. While the overall trend is stable in that the car consistently passes without major failures, there is a persistent pattern of advisories regarding wearable components. The recurring nature of these notes suggests a reactive approach to maintenance, where items are allowed to reach their legal or safety limits before being addressed, rather than being replaced as part of a proactive service regime. With a recorded mileage of 56,362 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,272 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this class and age. There are no indications of prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage stress, meaning the mechanical components should be in a condition consistent with average wear, provided the scheduled service intervals have been adhered to. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edges across multiple corners, specifically the nearside rear and both front tyres. This often indicates incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes, which can lead to premature tyre degradation. During a test drive, listen for excessive road noise and physically inspect the inner and outer shoulders of all tyres for uneven wear patterns that could signal a need for a full four-wheel alignment. The braking system also requires scrutiny, as both front and rear brake pads have been flagged as wearing thin in separate years. You should check for any brake shudder under deceleration and listen for metallic grinding or squealing, which would indicate the pads have reached the wear indicators. Verify the condition of the brake discs for deep scoring or lip formation. Given the pattern of late replacement, it is essential to confirm through the service history that the brake fluid has been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals to ensure hydraulic efficiency and prevent internal corrosion.
