2017 AUDI Q53.0L Diesel

This 2017 Audi Q5 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 2025-05-21 at 54,497 miles . The absence of any recurring issues or advisories suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any major mechanical or structural failures during the MOT testing process. However, the 12-month gap between the last MOT and today’s date means the vehicle has not been subject to a recent inspection, leaving a window of uncertainty regarding wear on non-MOT-tested components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain fluid levels. The mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 6,055 miles per year —a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity, which would otherwise raise concerns about neglected maintenance or storage-related deterioration. The most significant mileage increase occurred between 2022-05-19 (32,123 miles) and 2023-05-16 (38,337 miles) , covering 6,214 miles in a year , but this remains within an acceptable range. The lack of advisories or defects in any test further implies that the vehicle has not suffered from severe wear or neglect during this period. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , as these are not routinely checked in MOT tests but are critical for handling and safety. The front and rear brake calipers and discs should also be examined for uneven wear or binding, as repeated braking performance issues could indicate fluid contamination or misalignment. Additionally, a thorough check of structural corrosion , particularly around the wheel arches and sills, is advisable, as this is often not visible from routine MOT checks. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, especially if the vehicle has been driven in salty or corrosive environments. Finally, the transmission and differential fluids should be assessed for degradation, as these are not covered by MOT testing and can significantly impact long-term reliability.
