2019 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · T66 RRL

The 2019 Audi Q2 has maintained a broadly stable roadworthiness profile over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 8 July 2025—just under a year ago—showing no defects and the vehicle passing without fail. While the 2024 test revealed minor but recurring issues, including rear brake disc wear and front tyre wear, these were classified as non-serious and did not result in a fail. The 2023 tests, however, exposed consistent rear and front brake disc pitting across both axles, suggesting a gradual degradation that was managed rather than resolved. The absence of advisories or structural faults in the latest tests indicates the vehicle has not suffered catastrophic wear, but the pattern of brake disc wear—particularly if left unaddressed—could eventually compromise stopping performance. The mileage progression of 60,139 miles at the time of writing reflects a steady, if not aggressive, usage rate of approximately 8,600 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests occurred between January 2023 and July 2023, where the vehicle accumulated 2,865 miles in just six months, though no defects were recorded during that period. The earlier 2022 to 2023 interval saw a slower accumulation of 11,388 miles over 12 months, suggesting either seasonal driving habits or a period of lighter use. The most recent 12-month span from July 2024 to July 2025 shows no mileage increase, which may indicate the vehicle has been off the road or parked since its last test. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear discs and calipers, given their repeated mention in earlier MOTs. The front brake discs, while not flagged in the latest test, showed signs of pitting in 2023, so checking for uneven wear or glazing is essential. The front tyres, which were worn close to the legal limit in 2024, should be examined for uneven tread patterns or edge wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, were not explicitly noted in the MOT history, but given the vehicle’s age and mileage, their condition warrants inspection for excessive play or corrosion. Finally, the rear tyres from 2024 showed signs of damage or perishing, so verifying their current state—especially for cracks or bulges—is critical to avoiding a sudden failure.
