Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a large
When viewing this specific black Q5, pay close attention to the suspension. The May 2026 MOT recorded advisories for both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes. You should check if these have been replaced since the test, as worn bushes can lead to uneven tyre wear and handling issues.
Given the 3.0L petrol engine, ensure you ask for evidence of regular oil changes and service intervals. While the MOT history shows no previous failures, it does not confirm the mechanical upkeep of the engine or transmission. Check the condition of the windscreen as noted in the recent advisory to see if it requires replacement to avoid future MOT failures.
As a 2995cc petrol model, running costs will be higher than smaller-capacity diesel alternatives. Expect higher fuel consumption, particularly in urban driving, and a higher insurance group due to the engine size and Audi's premium positioning.
Tax and maintenance costs for a vehicle of this specification are typically higher than average. While the MOT history has been largely clean, suspension repairs and tyre replacements on a large SUV like the Q5 can be more expensive than on a standard hatchback. Estimated annual running costs sit in the mid-to-high range for this segment.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension. The 2026 MOT specifically flagged the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes as worn. A test drive is essential to listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when going over bumps, which would indicate the wear has progressed.
Additionally, inspect the windscreen for any chips or cracks that might have been noted in the recent MOT. You should also check the general condition of the tyres; since suspension bushes are an issue, look for any signs of irregular tread wear patterns on the front axle.
This 2017 Audi Q5 has covered 52,437 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 8,637 miles per year for its age. The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, having passed five consecutive tests since 2022. The most recent inspection in May 2026 identified worn suspension bushes and a damaged windscreen, though these were not immediate failures.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.9% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and drive shaft joints being common points of attention across the fleet.
