2019 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · 1 KCC

The 2019 Audi Q5 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 33,451 miles passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This marks four consecutive first-time passes since the vehicle's first MOT in 2022, indicating consistent mechanical reliability and no emerging faults over the past four years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,779 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the car covered 5,924 miles. The following year, from October 2023 to October 2024, it added 8,626 miles, representing a noticeable increase in usage. The most recent twelve-month interval, from October 2024 to October 2025, saw a significant drop to just 8,717 miles, though this figure is inflated by the gap between the recorded test date and the current mileage of 33,451. The MOT record itself shows no mileage anomalies or suspicious jumps, and the progression appears broadly consistent with genuine use. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that spend extended periods stationary can develop issues that MOT tests do not always capture, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, seized handbrake mechanisms, or corroded brake discs from surface rust accumulation. The front lower suspension arms and rear trailing arm bushes on the Q5 are known to deteriorate with age regardless of mileage, so these should be checked for cracking or play. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, as Audi models of this generation can be susceptible to surface and structural rust in damp UK conditions. Tyre condition also warrants close attention, as low annual mileage often means tyres age out before they wear out, with sidewall cracking and date codes older than five years being common on infrequently driven vehicles.
