2022 Audi Q2 2.0L Diesel · TM58 DEM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 16 July 2026, following a failure two days prior. While the overall maintenance trend has remained stable since 2024, the recent failure indicates that the vehicle is now reaching a stage where rubber components and consumables are beginning to degrade. The transition from clean passes to a major failure for a CV boot suggests that maintenance may have become more reactive recently, rather than proactive. With a recorded mileage of 46,155 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,539 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class, suggesting a balanced mix of urban and motorway driving. There are no indications of excessive mileage that would necessitate premature drivetrain overhauls, nor are there signs of long-term standing that would typically lead to seized calipers or perished seals. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the recent failure of the offside front outer prop shaft constant velocity boot. While this has been rectified for the MOT, it is essential to verify whether the CV joint itself was compromised by dirt ingress before the boot was replaced. During a test drive, listen for rhythmic clicking or popping sounds when steering at full lock, as this indicates internal joint wear. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the edge points toward a potential wheel alignment issue. Inspect all tyres for uneven wear patterns, specifically feathering or camber wear, which could necessitate a professional four-wheel alignment. Beyond the specific MOT history, the vehicle's age and mileage warrant a standard check of its service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Inspect the brake discs for significant lip formation or corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes for any signs of splitting. Given the vehicle is now four years old, the health of the 12V battery should be verified, and the owner should provide evidence of a comprehensive service record to confirm that time-based fluid degradation has been managed.
