2016 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · N33 EBR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The July 2025 test at 89,390 miles returned no defects, suggesting that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. While the vehicle has passed every annual test since 2019, the history shows a pattern of intermittent tyre wear advisories that indicate a tendency to run consumables toward the legal limit rather than replacing them proactively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 58,898 miles in June 2019 to the current 89,390 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of prolonged inactivity evident in the records. The interval between tests remains regular, which supports a predictable maintenance schedule. A prospective buyer should focus on the tyre wear patterns noted in the December 2022 and December 2024 tests. The repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edges suggest potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. I recommend a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, control arms, and shock absorbers to ensure no uneven wear is being caused by mechanical misalignment. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded advisories for brake discs, pads, or exhaust emissions is positive. However, given the vehicle is approaching the 90,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the drivetrain components and any signs of fluid leaks would be prudent. The absence of structural corrosion or brake binding in the MOT history indicates a well-maintained chassis to date.
