2015 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · HJ65 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening wear regarding suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in September 2025 passed, it introduced multiple advisories concerning the front suspension and brake discs. This represents a shift from the clean record seen in 2022, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their optimal service life. At 124,279 miles, the Audi reflects typical usage for its eleven years, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 9,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This consistent use suggests regular driving patterns but explains the increasing degradation of heavy-duty parts like bushes and tyres. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically the nearside lower control arm artwork which was recently flagged as worn. The recurring history of tyres being close to legal limits or showing uneven wear on the inside edges suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shocks that require professional addressing. Additionally, the pitted front several discs and the previously misting offside rear shock from 2023 should be checked for further leakage or structural thinning.
