2014 AUDI Q5 S LINE PLUS TDI QUATTRO A2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 16 December 2025 at 95,433 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory requirements. While a failure occurred on 14 November 2025 at 95,076 miles, the immediate pass just one month later suggests a minor issue that was quickly rectified by the owner rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2022 test at 69,799 miles and the October 2023 test at 78,431 miles, the car covered 8,632 miles in just fourteen months, showing a regular usage pattern. In the subsequent eighteen months since the October 2024 test, the mileage increased by 8,772 miles. This steady usage is generally beneficial for diesel engines as it prevents the carbon buildup and degradation of rubber seals associated with long periods of standing. Given the lack of recurring advisories or structural corrosion in the history, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical of the Quattro system at this mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs, which often show fatigue near the 100,000-mile mark. Checking for signs of binding brake calipers or uneven wear on the discs is prudent, though the record does not flag previous issues. The clean MOT history suggests an owner who maintained the vehicle proactively to avoid failing testing.
