2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · DE15 AET

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-04-07 at 118,764 miles recording a pass. However, a failed test on 2026-04-04 at 118,741 miles—just three days prior—raises questions about procedural accuracy, as no defects were noted on either occasion. The absence of recorded issues in the prior five MOTs (from 2023-04-17 to 2025-04-17) suggests a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults identified. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,797 miles annually. A notable jump from 107,115 miles (2025-04-17) to 118,764 miles (2026-04-07) reflects a 11,649-mile increase over 12 months, which may indicate heightened usage or infrequent MOT testing. The sparse record—only five tests over 11 years—limits insight into long-term wear patterns, though no critical issues were flagged in the documented history. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points in this model, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which may not always trigger MOT failures. The exhaust system’s corrosion resistance should be verified, as well as the underbody for rust, particularly around chassis rails. A test drive is essential to assess steering responsiveness and identify any unusual vibrations, which could hint at unresolved mechanical stress.
