2017 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · SC54 DOB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 28 May 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend is remarkably stable. While the 2025 test highlighted some wear regarding the braking system, the subsequent clean pass indicates that these issues were addressed promptly. This pattern suggests a vehicle that has been consistently maintained and is not suffering from chronic mechanical neglect. With a recorded mileage of 63,110 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged around 7,012 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a compact SUV of this age, suggesting a balanced blend of urban and motorway driving. Because the mileage has accumulated steadily rather than in short bursts or long periods of inactivity, the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber components due to standing is reduced, though standard wear on consumables remains a factor. Although the most recent test was clean, the 2025 advisories regarding thin rear brake pads and pitted or scored front discs are significant. A prospective buyer should confirm via service records that the discs and pads were replaced rather than simply skimmed. During a test drive, pay close attention to any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal, which would indicate warped discs, and listen for any grinding noises during low-speed braking that could suggest remaining debris or premature wear. Given the vehicle is now nine years old, physical inspection should extend beyond the MOT records. Examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of splitting or corrosion, and listen for any clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces. Finally, verify the service history for calendar-based fluid changes, particularly the brake fluid and coolant, and check the 12V battery health to ensure it has been replaced within the last four to five years.
