AUDI Q52018 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2018 Audi Q5 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 at 84,098 miles recording a pass and no defects. All subsequent tests from 2022 to 2025 show consistent compliance, with no recurring issues flagged. The absence of advisories or failures in the last four tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though the gap between the latest test and today’s date (2026-07-20) means a current inspection is advisable to confirm ongoing compliance. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, averaging ~10,512 miles per year over eight years. However, a notable spike occurred between 2024-03-11 (67,619 miles) and 2025-08-08 (84,098 miles), reflecting 16,479 miles in 17 months—a rate exceeding typical usage. This acceleration may indicate increased wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust systems, though no such issues were recorded. Earlier tests show regular intervals, suggesting routine maintenance, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential underlying concerns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension and braking systems, as rapid mileage increases can exacerbate wear on coil springs, shock absorbers, and calipers. Visual checks for corrosion on underbody components and exhaust emissions are also critical, as these are often overlooked in MOT tests. While the record shows no structural defects, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of high-stress areas like the drivetrain and wheel bearings.
