2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · HJ55 DAD

The 2015 Audi Q5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-04-08 MOT at 22,726 miles. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record across all five MOT tests since 2022, with no recurring issues or advisories. This suggests effective maintenance and minimal mechanical degradation over the past four years. The absence of failures in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions indicates the car has been well cared for, though low mileage may mask wear in components subject to prolonged inactivity. The vehicle’s mileage of 22,726 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 2,066 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. The MOT history shows gradual accumulation, with the 2022-04-06 test at 16,180 miles followed by incremental increases of 1,150–609 miles annually. This pattern suggests infrequent use or periods of storage, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. While the MOT records lack gaps, the sparse data from 2022 to 2026 does not confirm whether the car was driven regularly or left stationary, warranting closer inspection of its mechanical state. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which may degrade without regular use. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can sometimes lead to binding or rust. The underbody and chassis should also be examined for structural corrosion, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate rust in hidden areas. While the MOT history shows no red flags, these elements require physical verification to confirm the car’s long-term reliability.
