2010 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · BM60 BEK

The 2010 Audi Q5 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record across five consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 18 March 2025—just 14 months ago—confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or advisory notes, suggesting the vehicle has been subjected to either diligent maintenance or, at the very least, has avoided major failures. However, the absence of defects does not preclude underlying wear; critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers remain at risk of deterioration given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The mileage progression of 107,341 miles today reflects a steady annual average of approximately 6,709 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in service intervals, though the record does not provide service history beyond MOT results. The most notable mileage jump occurred between the October 2021 and October 2022 tests, where the vehicle accumulated 2,056 miles in a single year—an increase from the previous 1,846 miles. While this is not excessive, it indicates the vehicle was actively used rather than stored. The lack of MOT advisories or defects suggests the owner did not neglect critical systems during this period. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear subframe mounts and front control arms, as these are common wear points in Audi Q5 models. The brake system—including calipers, pads, and discs—should be thoroughly checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be examined, as this is a frequent issue in older Audi models exposed to UK road conditions. The exhaust system, particularly at the rear, warrants inspection for leaks or structural fatigue, which could lead to advisory failures in future MOTs. Tyre depth and tread uniformity should be verified, though the MOT history does not indicate any prior tread-related issues.
