2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · AES 41L

The 2013 Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 102,463 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 28 September 2023 at 88,236 miles is anomalous, as the record shows no defects listed and the vehicle passed again the same day, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,882 miles, typical for a thirteen-year-old vehicle of this class. The odometer moved from 80,818 miles at the 20 September 2022 test to 88,236 miles in September 2023, then 96,217 miles in September 2024, and 102,463 miles in September 2025. The yearly increments of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles are consistent and show no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA history is sparse but clean across all dated entries, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition despite the absent advisories, as MOT testers vary in rigor and older Audis of this era are prone to subframe corrosion and worn front control arm bushes. The brake calipers and coil springs warrant a hands-on check for binding or fracture given the vehicle's age. The unexplained fail-and-pass on the same date in 2023 should be clarified with the test station to rule out a missed defect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Q5 to a basic pass standard without neglect of consumables, since no tyre tread or wiper blade failures appear in the record. The clean sheet across five years suggests disciplined servicing, though the lack of advisories means wear items like exhaust emissions components and dampers may be original and due for assessment.
