AUDI Q52018 · 2.0L DIESEL

This Audi Q5 presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture from its MOT history, though the most recent test in February 2026 at 45,316 miles returned a pass with minor advisories for low coolant, a non-operative rear wash, and a loose offside front arch liner. These are not structural failures but indicate some deferred upkeep. The 2024 failure for worn brake pads and fractured rear coil springs was promptly addressed, as the retest eight days later recorded a clean pass, suggesting a conscientious repair response at that time. The recorded mileage of 45,316 miles after approximately eight years equates to a low annual average of around 5,664 miles. This pattern aligns with light commuting or occasional use, with no evidence of rapid accumulation or irregular gaps. The consistent yearly testing supports a controlled usage pattern. The low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but standing periods can degrade rubber seals and fluids. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension carefully, given the history of both coil springs fracturing at 36,896 miles. Although replaced, the condition of the mounting points and shock absorbers warrants verification. Check brake discs for scoring and pads for even wear, as the 2024 advisory on thin pads hints at possible caliper sticking or aggressive driving. The coolant level issue and faulty rear wash suggest basic fluid and electrical checks have been overlooked, so verify the washer pump and cooling system health during a physical inspection.
