2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · LC15 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The May 2025 test at 215,256 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a brief failure on May 8, 2024, at 196,140 miles, though the record shows no specific mechanical faults were noted for that failure, suggesting a possible clerical error or a minor issue rectified immediately. The transition from that failure to a clean pass on May 9, 2024, indicates that any previous issues were successfully addressed. The mileage accumulation is significant, averaging approximately 19,569 miles per year over the eleven-year lifespan of the vehicle. This high-mileage usage is evident in the consistent upward trajectory from 155,103 miles in May 2022 to the current 215,256 miles. Such heavy usage typically accelerates the wear on high-stress components. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural or emissions issues, the high annual mileage places considerable demand on the drivetrain and suspension systems. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's underside and chassis. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms is critical, as these components often reach the end of their service life under these driving conditions. You should also check for signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox and inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring. The absence of advisories in the most recent tests is a positive indicator of recent maintenance. However, the sheer distance covered suggests that the vehicle has likely required significant preventative maintenance on consumables like tyres and brake pads. Focus your inspection on the integrity of the timing chain and the condition of the turbocharger, as these are high-wear items on high-mileage diesel engines.
