2018 AUDI Q52.0L Diesel

This 2018 Audi Q5 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2022 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection in June 2025—just over a year ago—confirms no issues, though the 12-month gap between that and today’s date means a pre-purchase MOT is essential to verify current condition. The absence of recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence of proactive servicing beyond statutory MOT requirements is visible. Mileage progression shows a steady but typical accumulation for its age, averaging around 9,200 miles annually. The largest jump occurred between the March 2024 (60,080 miles) and July 2024 (63,433 miles) tests, covering 3,353 miles in just four months—a rate that, while not excessive, could indicate either intensive use or a period of higher mileage. The remaining intervals remain consistent, with no prolonged periods of inactivity or rapid degradation. This pattern aligns with standard wear expectations for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components not directly tested by the MOT—particularly the suspension system, where coil springs and bushes often degrade between tests. The brakes, though never flagged, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage spikes. Additionally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and often develop issues between MOT intervals. A thorough inspection of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, particularly around joints and the catalytic converter, is also advisable.
