- Petrol (74% of Q2s tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Audi Q2 for London: what the MOT data shows
The Audi Q2s in this data were first registered between 2016 and 2021. 2019 was the most common year, with 16,643 tests (28% of the total), and half were registered in 2019 or later.
Every Q2 in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 93% of the time at 21,209 miles on average, and the oldest (2016) passed 87% at 51,378 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Q2's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (1.6% of tests) and "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (1.6%); brakes: "less than 1.5 mm thick" (1.1%). The most frequent advisory was "has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure", on 13.9% of tests.
Overall, 91% of Q2s passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 33,150 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
