2017 Audi Q2 2.0L Diesel · SO17 UMD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance after years of clean records. On 23 October 2025 at 47,994 miles, the car passed but revealed the first defects in a five-year history. The tester identified an offside rear nail in the tyre and noted surface wear on both front brake discs, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,333 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2024, the car covered 17,461 miles with a perfect record of no recorded defects. The jump of 6,280 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a stable usage trend. While low mileage generally reduces drivetrain wear, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. Since the 2025 test flagged worn front brake discs, it is necessary to check the remaining thickness and the condition of the pads to ensure they are not wearing unevenly. The offside rear tyre requires a close check for slow leaks or structural damage caused by the noted nail. Given the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, an inspection should also verify suspension bushes for cracking or per, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance driven.
