2017 Audi Q2 1.0L Petrol · SF17 CFW

The 2017 Audi Q2 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent inspection on 19 June 2025—just over a year ago. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring or serious mechanical failures during the MOT process. The absence of advisories or faults in the latest test implies the tester did not identify any imminent concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or structural integrity. However, the lack of defects does not preclude underlying issues that might not have been visible during the MOT, such as hidden corrosion or gradual wear in components like the exhaust system or drivetrain. The recorded mileage of 32,581 miles over nine years indicates exceptionally light usage, averaging just 3,620 miles annually—a figure far below typical UK driving patterns for this model. This low mileage could imply the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may accelerate certain forms of degradation, such as tyre degradation from prolonged exposure to UV light or minor corrosion from moisture accumulation. Notably, there is a gap between the 2022 tests, where two MOTs were conducted on the same date (13 June 2022), one passing and the other failing—though both recorded the same mileage of 27,009 miles. This anomaly suggests either a technical error or a brief period of non-use between tests, but no defects were ever logged in subsequent years, reinforcing the overall stability of the vehicle’s condition. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection focusing on areas not directly tested by the MOT, such as the suspension’s rubber mounts for cracking, the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion—particularly beneath the vehicle—and the brake calipers for fluid leaks or excessive wear. The low mileage also warrants scrutiny of the tyres for uneven wear or dry rot, as well as the battery health, given the potential for prolonged inactivity. While the MOT record provides reassurance, these components are not routinely inspected during the test and may require closer examination to confirm their long-term integrity.
