2016 Audi Q2 Sport TDI 1.6L Heavy oil · SF66 AGK

A pattern of tyre wear and mild brake‑disc wear dominates the MOT record, signalling that the principal consumables are approaching the end of their service life. The vehicle cleared its latest test on 18 November 2025 without any recorded defects, and the six‑year span of tests shows only advisories – no outright failures – suggesting that the underlying mechanical systems have remained within acceptable limits, but that the wear items are now due for attention. At 84,799 mi the car averages roughly 8,500 mi per annum, a mileage rate that sits squarely within normal usage for a ten‑year‑old Audi Q2. The MOT schedule is regular, with roughly annual testing and no significant gaps, indicating continuous road use rather than prolonged storage. This steady accumulation means that wear on tyres, brakes and suspension components will follow a predictable progression, and the recorded mileage aligns with the advisories observed for front and rear tyres and the front brake disc. When inspecting the vehicle, focus first on the tyres: verify tread depth on all four wheels, looking for the 1 mm minimum on the inner edges that prompted the 2020 and 2022 advisories, and examine the sidewalls for any cracking or perishing noted on the off‑side rear tyre in 2022. Uneven wear patterns may reveal alignment or suspension issues that have not yet triggered an MOT fault. On the brakes, assess the front discs for surface pitting or scoring that was flagged in 2021 and the rear disc advisory from 2019; listen for any high‑pitched squeal on initial application and feel for pedal pulsation or a soft, spongy feel that could indicate thinning disc material. Although the only recorded defect was a defective off‑side front wiper blade in 2024, it is prudent to check the wiper operation and blade condition, as well as the overall suspension bushings, coil springs and steering linkage for any looseness, knocking sounds over bumps or a noticeable pull to one side under braking. A thorough road‑test that includes steady‑state cruising, moderate braking and cornering will reveal whether the vehicle’s handling remains stable or if hidden wear, not yet captured by MOT advisories, requires remedial work before purchase.
