2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · EL51 PUW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on September 15, 2025 at 87,767 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory requirements. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last several years, as the vehicle has avoided any mechanical failures or significant advisories across its last five recorded inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,777 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the December 2022 test at 42,949 miles and the January 2024 test at 59,061 miles, representing a thirteen-month period without an inspection. However, the usage significantly increased recently, with 11,697 miles covered between January 2025 and September 2025. This recent surge in mileage suggests the vehicle is currently being used more frequently, which typically accelerates the rate of wear on mechanical components. While the digital record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on components common to the Audi Q5 at this mileage bracket. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or cracking, as the increased mileage stresses these rubber elements. Given the recent increase in driving, checking the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning is also advisable. The underbody should be checked for any early signs of surface rust on the sills or mounting points where moisture often collects over a decade, despite the clean test history.
