2017 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · WH17 GKC

The 2017 Audi Q2 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 40,275 miles passing cleanly with zero defects or advisories. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been properly maintained in the past year, particularly given the pattern of recurring tyre and brake disc issues that were flagged in earlier tests but appear to have been fully resolved. The January 2025 test at 38,726 miles recorded cracking and perishing on both front tyres, and the March 2023 test at 34,167 miles saw a failure for significantly worn front brake discs alongside perishing rear tyres. Both of these issues were evidently corrected before the November 2025 test, suggesting attentive ownership in the most recent period. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,475 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 38,726 miles and the November 2025 test at 40,275 miles, the car covered just 1,549 miles over roughly ten months, indicating very light recent use or possible periods of standing. The earlier record shows steady accumulation from 34,167 miles in March 2023 to 36,964 miles in January 2024, a gain of 2,797 miles over ten months, which is consistent with modest but regular use. The gap between January 2025 and November 2025 is the most pronounced slowdown in the available history. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should pay close attention to the condition of all four tyres, checking for sidewall cracking, perishing, or uneven wear, given the repeated tyre-related advisories across multiple tests. The front brake discs and pads should also be examined for scoring, lipping, or uneven wear, as the March 2023 failure for significantly worn discs suggests this was a genuine mechanical concern rather than a borderline advisory. Given the low annual mileage and the possibility of long stationary periods, it is worth inspecting brake components for surface corrosion that can develop on vehicles driven infrequently, as well as checking suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration that can occur even without high mileage. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be assessed, as short-trip driving patterns can accelerate moisture buildup and corrosion within the exhaust.
