2019 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · N16 XMX

This Audi Q5 presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 48,753 miles showing no defects, advisories, or even minor issues. The three preceding annual tests— September 2024 (36,904 miles) , September 2023 (26,111 miles) , and September 2022 (16,700 miles) —all passed without any recorded faults, indicating consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained by previous owners or has naturally aged without developing common wear issues. However, the lack of any recorded advisories also means there’s no historical evidence of proactive maintenance beyond what’s legally required—no mention of suspension components, brake wear, or fluid top-ups, for example. The mileage accumulation of 6,965 miles per year aligns closely with the average for a seven-year-old vehicle, though it does imply lighter use than some equivalents, which might suggest occasional long-term storage or urban driving patterns. The steady annual increments— 10,800 miles between 2022 and 2023 , 10,793 miles between 2023 and 2024 , and 11,849 miles between 2024 and 2025 —show no sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity, reducing concerns about neglected wear. That said, the absence of any mileage discrepancies or gaps in the MOT record means there’s no indication of odometer tampering, but it also leaves unanswered whether the car has been driven consistently or sat dormant for extended periods. Given the complete absence of defects or advisories in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components that typically wear without triggering MOT failures. Key areas include the suspension bushes and coil springs , which may show signs of fatigue even without binding or excessive movement. The brake system —particularly the rear calipers and discs —should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as binding brakes often go unnoticed until they fail a test. Exhaust emissions and structural corrosion under the vehicle, around wheel arches, and in the sills should also be examined, as these are not always caught in routine MOTs. Finally, the tyre condition —including tread depth and sidewall integrity—should be verified, as the MOT only checks for legal minimum tread levels, not overall tyre health. The clean MOT record is a positive sign, but these areas could reveal deferred maintenance or hidden wear.
