2018 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · SH68 NFZ

The 2018 Audi Q2 presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 41,606 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the entire history indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically sound and structurally intact. This pattern suggests a previous owner who maintained the car to a high standard, addressing wear items before they escalated into failures. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, showing no signs of deterioration or neglect. The mileage accumulation aligns with light, regular use rather than prolonged standing. Between the June 2022 test at 33,312 miles and the September 2025 test at 41,606 miles, the vehicle covered 8,294 miles over roughly three years, averaging approximately 2,765 miles annually during that specific window. Earlier, the car averaged closer to 4,000 miles per year. The slight drop in annual mileage in recent years points to a shift toward shorter, local journeys, though the consistent yearly testing confirms the vehicle remained in active service rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Despite the flawless MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on components that degrade with age and low mileage rather than just high mileage. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the tyres, looking for sidewall cracking or flat spots that develop when a car sits stationary for long periods. The brake discs and pads require scrutiny for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles doing short trips where the components never reach full operating temperature to wipe themselves clean. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts also warrant attention, as rubber perishes over time regardless of mileage. While the MOT history shows zero structural corrosion advisories, a physical underbody inspection remains prudent to verify the integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points. The pristine record implies diligent care, but age-related deterioration on low-mileage vehicles can easily escape a standard MOT unless it causes excessive play or failure.
