AUDI Q52017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 18 February 2026 at 86,296 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just the previous day at 86,295 miles. This single-mile discrepancy suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was immediately rectified rather than a mechanical failure, as the vehicle subsequently achieved a clean pass with no advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. Between March 2023 at 42,102 miles and February 2025 at 68,474 miles, the car covered over 26,000 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. The recent jump of 17,822 miles between the February 2025 and 2026 tests maintains this trajectory, suggesting the vehicle is driven regularly which often helps prevent the engine seals and rubber components from degrading due to long periods of standing. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion or mechanical components, a buyer should still inspect high-wear items common to this mileage bracket. At 86,000 miles, the suspension arm bushes and coil springs often show signs of fatigue that MOT testers might miss. Since the record shows no previous binding calipers or worn pads, a physical inspection of the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting is necessary to ensure the previous owner has maintained the braking system between annual tests.
