AUDI Q52016 · 2.0L Petrol

The 2016 Audi Q5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent December 2025 inspection at 50,367 miles. The 2024 January test at 39,410 miles recorded a failure but no specific defects, raising questions about the nature of the failure. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 show consistent passing, suggesting the issue was resolved. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The car’s mileage of 50,367 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,037 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals and battery life. The 2023 test at 32,722 miles and the 2024 January test at 39,511 miles show a 6,789-mile gap, suggesting potential lapses in MOT compliance. However, the absence of defects in later tests implies no critical deterioration during this period. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue. The failed 2024 test, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of minor issues like lighting or emissions. Structural corrosion is not flagged, but the vehicle’s age necessitates checking underbody panels and chassis for rust. Brake components and exhaust systems should also be verified, as these are common wear points despite the MOT history showing no major faults.
