2016 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · RF66 EOS

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred consumable upkeep. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 65,892 miles flagged several points of attention including thin rear brake pads, pitted and scored front brake discs, and front tyres reaching the legal limit. This decline contrasts sharply with the clean records from 2023 and 2024, suggesting that routine service intervals were likely neglected until the latest inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, followed by another 5,100-mile interval leading to the October 2025 test. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain components, the presence of perished tyres noted in 2022 indicates that the rubber is suffering from age and environmental exposure rather than distance driven. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The 2025 advisory confirms that the front discs have significant surface degradation, which often leads to poor braking performance and noise if not replaced. You should also check the sidewalls of all tyres for further cracking, as the history shows recurring issues with tyre quality between 2021 and 2022. Given the age of the vehicle, the suspension bushes should also be inspected for dry rot, as low-mileage cars often hide rubber degradation in components that sit stationary.
