2024 Audi Q2: known problems and what to check
Cars registered in 2024 haven’t had their first MOT yet (it’s due at 3 years old), so there are no MOT results to show. Here’s what we do know about the 2024 Audi Q2, and what to check before you buy one.
Known faults on the 2024 Audi Q2
Reported by owners, mechanics and buying guides for this model and age. Check which engine the car has, as some apply to one engine only.
- 1.4 TFSI and 2.0 TDI
Timing chain service (1.4 TFSI and 2.0 TDI)
Auto Express gives a timing chain change every five years or 140,000 miles, about £600 with the water pump.
At the viewing: Ask for the service history.
- 1.5 TFSI petrol
Jerky from cold (1.5 TFSI)

At the viewing: Drive it from cold.
What to check on a 2024 car
- Warranty left
Ask for the date it was first registered and check how much of the maker’s warranty is left, and that it transfers to you. Electric and hybrid batteries usually have a longer, separate warranty.
- Servicing
Servicing on time with the maker’s schedule keeps the warranty valid. Ask for the service book or the dealer’s digital record.
- Finance
Nearly new cars are often still on finance. A history check shows outstanding finance, and whether it has been written off or stolen.
- Recalls
Ask whether any recall work has been done, and check the reg on GOV.UK’s free recall checker.
- Logbook (V5C)
The name and address should match the seller, and the VIN on the V5C should match the car.
