Our Verdict
A strong prospect due to exceptionally l
The primary point for negotiation is the nearside front shock absorber, which has been flagged for oil misting in both the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests. This indicates a persistent leak that has not been rectified. You should also check if the rear brake pads, noted as wearing thin in December 2025, have since been replaced.
Review the service history to see if the vehicle has been serviced regardless of its low mileage. Because this car has covered far fewer miles than average, check for signs of 'low-mileage syndrome', such as battery degradation or perished rubber components, as seen in the 2023 and 2024 tyre advisories.
The 1395cc petrol engine provides a balance of efficiency and performance for a compact SUV. Insurance costs will be moderate, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and engine size.
Typical maintenance will be lower than average due to the low mileage, but immediate costs are likely for the shock absorber and brake pads. Expected annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be around £1,100-£1,400.
Carefully inspect the nearside front shock absorber for signs of oil leakage, as this has been a recurring advisory for two consecutive years. Check the thickness of the rear brake pads and the surface of the front brake discs, referencing the advisories from December 2025 and December 2023 respectively.
Examine all four tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing. The MOT history from 2023 and 2024 specifically noted the offside rear tyre as being damaged or perishing, which is common for vehicles that spend long periods stationary.
This grey 2018 Audi Q2 petrol has a recorded mileage of 28,893 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. While the vehicle has passed all five of its MOT tests, the most recent records show recurring advisories regarding a front shock absorber and wearing brake components. Its low usage makes it an attractive option, provided the ageing-related wear is managed.
The Audi Q2 demonstrates a strong reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 91.6% across 83,757 analysed vehicles.
