2018 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · WD67 AEU

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident across the recorded history, with the vehicle maintaining a clean testing profile for most of its lifespan. The most recent inspection on 20 January 2026 resulted in a pass, though it noted minor windscreen damage in the form of various small stonechips. This follows a singular failure in January 2025, where both the nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged for major defects due to cuts deep enough to reach the ply or cords. Aside from that specific tyre-related failure, the MOT record shows no other recorded defects or recurring advisories across the previous five years of testing. The vehicle has covered 35,222 miles over approximately eight years, which equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 4,403 miles. This represents a low-mileage usage profile for a 2018 Audi Q2. Mechanically, such low annual mileage can mean that components like suspension bushes, dampers, and various linkages have undergone fewer load cycles than a higher-mileage equivalent. However, it also implies that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used primarily for short-distance trips, which can occasionally affect the condition of rubber seals and the movement of braking components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition, given the major failure recorded in early 2025. While the 2026 test did not flag tyre defects, the previous failure suggests the vehicle may have been operated in environments prone to sharp debris or that the tyres were subject to sidewall damage. During a test drive, it is advisable to inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of bulging, cracking, or previous repairs, and to listen for any uneven road noise that might indicate irregular wear patterns resulting from the previous tyre issues. The minor windscreen damage noted in the latest test should be visually inspected to ensure no stonechips are positioned directly in the driver's line of sight, as these can expand into larger cracks under thermal stress. Given the low mileage and the specific nature of the previous failures, the test drive should also focus on ensuring there is no steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds, which would help confirm that the wheel alignment and tyre integrity remain within acceptable parameters following the replacement of the defective rear tyres.
