2019 Audi Q2 S Line Black ED 35 Tfsi SA 1.5L Petrol · SC19 OBP

A recurring pattern of front axle tyre wear advisories defines the recorded MOT history of this 2019 Audi Q2, with both nearside and offside front tyres flagged as worn close to the legal limit at both the 2023 and 2025 tests. The most recent examination on 27 April 2026 returned a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that whatever was addressed following the 2025 test resolved the immediate concerns at the time of inspection. However, the recurrence of identical advisories on the same axle across two non-consecutive tests points to a persistent geometry or suspension behaviour issue rather than a one-off consumable wear event. The 2025 test also introduced the only other advisory in the record, noting that the front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened, alongside an inspector unable to fully check an adult seatbelt due to a child seat being fitted. With 55,969 miles recorded over approximately seven years, the vehicle is accumulating around 8,000 miles annually, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for its age and class. There are no extended gaps in the testing history that would suggest prolonged periods off the road, and the mileage progression between tests appears consistent with steady, moderate use rather than any unusual spikes. This rate of accumulation is sufficient to expect normal wear on friction components, tyres, and suspension consumables, but is not high enough to imply accelerated mechanical fatigue on major drivetrain items at this stage. For a prospective buyer, the front tyre wear pattern is the principal area warranting close physical inspection, as symmetric inner or outer edge wear on both front tyres typically reflects either incorrect wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or weakened coil springs allowing the vehicle to sit low at the front. On a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking from the front end over uneven surfaces, particularly over speed bumps, which would suggest deteriorated front suspension arms or anti-roll bar bushes. Any pulling to one side under acceleration or braking, or a vague, wandering steering feel, would corroborate a geometry problem that has likely been masked by regular tyre replacement. The vehicle should also be parked on level ground and observed from the side to check whether the front sits noticeably lower than the rear, a sign of sagging front springs common to higher-mileage Q2s and A1-derived platforms. The pitted front brake discs noted in 2025 deserve direct attention, as discs scored beyond the manufacturer catch limits usually require replacement rather than machining. On test, the buyer should feel for pedal judder under firm braking, particularly from higher speed, and listen for any grinding or scraping that would indicate the pads have now worn into the deeper corrosion grooves on the disc surface. It is also prudent to visually inspect the discs through the wheel spokes for a pronounced lip on the outer edge and any visible rust pitting or blueing from heat cycles. Finally, although the 2026 test recorded no advisories, the absence of an inspection on the adult belt due to the child seat fitment means the rear belt condition and retraction have never been independently verified in the record, so a manual check of all rear belts for fraying, slow retraction, and secure latch operation should form part of the physical inspection.
