2018 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · RR57 ALR

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, having passed its last five MOT tests without any major failures. The most recent inspection in April 2026 indicates a pass, though it introduced the first advisory regarding cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside front tyres. This suggests a shift from a clean history to age-related wear on consumables, rather than a worsening mechanical trend. The mileage profile is significantly low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, low-usage pattern, moving from 16,596 miles in late 2022 to 31,116 miles by early 2026. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between tests and low annual usage often point to rubber components and seals drying out or deteriorating due to age rather than distance travelled. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres, as the recent adviser confirms that the rubber is beginning to perish despite sufficient tread depth. Given the low mileage, it is also essential to check the artwork discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as infrequently driven cars often suffer from oxidation on the braking surfaces. Additionally, the suspension bushings and seals should be examined for cracking, which are common issues on vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
