AUDI Q52016 · 2.0L Petrol

The 2016 Audi Q5 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-15 at 63,294 miles recording a pass and no defects. A prior failure on 2024-12-09 at the same mileage was noted but without recorded issues, suggesting potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. Subsequent tests in 2024-12-10 and 2023-12-11 also passed without defects, indicating consistent compliance with safety standards. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical failures, though the abrupt transition from failure to pass in consecutive tests warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, accumulating approximately 8,000–9,000 miles annually between 2022 and 2025. The 2024-12-09 failure occurred at 55,122 miles, immediately before a second test on the same day recording a pass, raising questions about the validity of the failure entry. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the absence of defects in most tests suggests routine maintenance was prioritized. However, the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into potential underlying issues. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in similar models. Structural integrity, including rust or panel damage, is not flagged in the MOT records, but visual assessment is advised. The vehicle’s MOT history does not indicate urgent concerns, but the 2024 failure entry warrants clarification to confirm whether it reflects a genuine issue or an administrative error.
