In 2025, 90.1% of Audi Q2 MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Audi Q2s tested pass 84.4% of the time, so the Audi Q2 does better than average for its age, by 5.7 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 90.3%.

Audi Q2 MOT failures

Tyres is the most common reason a Audi Q2 fails its MOT, appearing on 44.1% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 4.1% of Audi Q2 tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

Most common Audi Q2 MOT defects and advisories

The single most common reason a Audi Q2 failed its MOT in 2025 was “Tyres: cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords”, on 16.2% of 8,367 failed tests. 39.7% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

Audi Q2 by year

7 years of the Audi Q2, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2016 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (87.6% passed first time) and the 2020 cars worst (90.3%).

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Audi Q2 fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Audi Q2 from 2017, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 43.5 to 48.7 mpg, with CO2 of 132 to 148 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2017 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 44.1 to 68.9 mpg, with CO2 of 109 to 146 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• VCA’s data has no Audi versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the Audi Q2 was on sale.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “Q2”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 5 Audi Q2 recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Audi Q2. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
