2018 Audi Q5 3.0L Petrol · K14 DDY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 22 May 2026 at 46,026 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the most recent inspection recorded no defects, resolving the minor advisories that appeared in the 2025 test. This suggests that the current owner has addressed previous wear-and-tear issues that were flagged during the annual testing process. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 46,026 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,750 miles per year. The usage pattern is consistent, with intervals of roughly 6,000 miles between the May 2024 and May 2026 tests. Low annual mileage typically indicates less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to premature degradation of rubber components or brake hardware if the vehicle sits for long periods without use. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2025 test flagged a worn rear brake disc, and the 2022 test noted uneven edge wear on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. These indicators often point the tester toward potential alignment issues or sticky brake calipers. Checking the current state of the tyres for uneven wear and inspecting suspension bushes for cracking is essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying mechanical neglect.
