2018 Audi Q2 1.4L Petrol · WT18 NFU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 May 2026 at 116,969 miles, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding consumable components. While the vehicle is technically roadworthy, the tester flagged multiple immediate requirements, including nearside front and offside front tyres approaching or at the legal limit, and rear brake pads requiring replacement within 1,000 to 2,000 miles. The record also noted perished rear tyres, indicating that rubber degradation is becoming a recurring issue. The mileage accumulation is high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 11,540 miles, but the jump from May 2025 to May 2026 shows a significant increase to 17,132 miles. This high annual usage explains the accelerated wear on tyres and braking components. The data shows consistent annual testing, though the increasing frequency of failures and advisories suggests the vehicle is being driven heavily without proactive preventative maintenance. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The history shows a persistent issue with tyre quality, with failures and advisories for perishing, cracking, and low tread depths appearing in 2021, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The recurring mention of pitted or scored front brake discs in May 2025 suggests the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life. Beyond tyres and brakes, the high mileage warrants a close examination of the suspension bushes and drivetrain components. The frequent tyre failures, particularly those involving uneven wear or edge wear, can sometimes mask underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Given the recent advisories regarding brake pad thickness and tyre perishability, immediate budget should be allocated for these essential replacements to ensure the vehicle meets standard safety expectations.
