AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This five-year-old Audi Q5 demonstrates an exemplary roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent test on December 22, 2025, at an unspecified mileage with zero defects recorded. This clean pass mirrors the preceding inspection on December 2, 2024, which also yielded a fault-free pass sheet. The complete absence of advisory items across these consecutive examinations indicates that previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard, promptly replacing consumables and addressing wear before test dates. The vehicle presents 48,320 miles on the odometer as of August 2026, averaging roughly 9,600 miles annually. This mileage accumulation aligns neatly with typical UK driving patterns for a premium plug-in hybrid SUV of this vintage. The available MOT dataset is concise due to the vehicle's young age, capturing only the first mandatory statutory tests required after its initial registration period. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or periods of prolonged dormancy recorded between the December 2024 and December 2025 test dates. A physical inspection should focus on the complex mechanical and electrical integration unique to the TFSI e quattro powertrain rather than historical MOT defects, since none exist on record. Check the condition of the high-voltage charging cables, verify the smooth engagement of the dual-clutch automatic transmission, and inspect the heavy-duty brake discs and pads. Hybrid vehicles often show reduced friction brake wear due to regenerative braking, but surface corrosion on the discs can develop if the vehicle sits idle. Finally, examine the multi-link suspension arms, pneumatic or standard coil springs, and subframe mountings for any premature bush degradation or leaks from the dampers.
