2021 Audi Q2 1.6L Diesel · WD70 DFJ

The most recent MOT test conducted on 2 February 2024 resulted in a pass, although it was accompanied by a minor defect and two advisories. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, but the specific nature of the advisories indicates that the vehicle was approaching a threshold for consumable replacement at the time of testing. The presence of a damaged windscreen, while not an immediate failure, suggests a need for closer inspection of the glass integrity to ensure no further propagation of cracks has occurred since the test. With a recorded mileage of 44,471 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,894 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for this class of vehicle, implying a consistent operational history without significant periods of stagnation or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while the primary drivetrain components should remain in good health, the vehicle is entering a window where standard wear items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension components will begin to show their first signs of age-related degradation. Particular attention must be paid to the front tyres, as the previous MOT noted both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and exhibited edge wear. This specific pattern often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes, which can lead to premature tyre failure and unstable handling. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual humming or vibration and check if the vehicle tends to pull to one side under light steering inputs. It is highly recommended to verify if these tyres have since been replaced and to inspect the current tread depth and uniformity across the width of the tyre. Beyond the recorded defects, a comprehensive physical inspection should focus on the service history to confirm that oil and filter changes have been performed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals. Given the vehicle's age, the buyer should examine the brake discs for any significant lip formation or surface corrosion and check the condition of the 12V battery. It is also prudent to inspect the rubber seals and suspension mounts for any signs of perishing or cracking, ensuring that the vehicle has been stored in a manner that has preserved its structural and mechanical integrity.
