AUDI Q52010 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2010 Audi Q5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-29 at 109,098 miles confirming no defects. Previous tests from 2025-01-20 (102,451 miles) and 2024-01-05 (97,127 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2025-01-14 (102,441 miles) recorded no defects. This suggests no recurring mechanical faults, though the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern shows consistent adherence to testing intervals, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The car’s 109,098 miles align with an average annual usage of 6,819 miles, typical for its 16-year age. Mileage progression between tests is steady, with 92,518 miles in 2023 rising to 109,098 by 2026, indicating regular operation. No anomalies in usage patterns are evident, though the 2025-01-14 failure—despite no recorded defects—raises questions about potential unresolved issues. The absence of structural corrosion, brake, or suspension advisories in the record implies no major deterioration, but older vehicles often conceal latent wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common on 16-year-old SUVs, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system, particularly near the catalytic converter, merits attention due to age-related degradation. While MOT records show no critical failures, the unexplained 2025 failure and lack of detailed defect logs mean a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
