2021 Audi Q2: MOT pass rate and common faults
Share of initial MOT tests passed with no repairs. Repairs made at the test centre count as a fail. 95% range 92.1% to 92.9% (±0.5 points).
That is 5.3 points above the average for all vehicles first used in 2021 (87.2%). These cars were about 4 years old at the test.

After an MOT advisory
Tyres
Of 2021 Audi Q2 cars that passed their 2024 MOT with a tyre advisory and came back for their next MOT 10–14 months later, 5.8% failed on tyres, against 3.5% of similar cars with nothing noted. Based on 1,750 and 7,906 cars.
Cars not tested again in that window are not included: 18.7% of those with a tyre advisory and 15.3% of the others.
Not enough 2021 Audi Q2 cars with a brake or suspension advisory to show figures for this year alone.
Similar cars are the same model, first-use year and mileage band. Areas are the DVSA's top-level groups, so the later fail may not be the fault that was advised. These figures describe what happened to these cars. They don't show what a repair would have changed.
