2016 AUDI Q52.0L Diesel

The 2016 Audi Q5 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-11 at 69,195 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests, including a fail on the same date at 69,193 miles, also showed no recorded issues, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical degradation. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest assessment indicates the car is currently fit for use, though the repeated fails without defects warrant scrutiny into potential testing inconsistencies or minor, unresolved faults. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,920 miles annually. The MOT records span from 2023-11-10 to 2025-12-11, with consistent intervals of approximately 12 months, reflecting regular maintenance. No abrupt mileage spikes or prolonged gaps are evident, which reduces concerns about excessive wear from heavy use or neglect. The vehicle’s service history, while not detailed here, appears to have followed a standard pattern, with no overt signs of accelerated deterioration in the recorded data. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the age and mileage, as these often degrade over time. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop without immediate MOT failures. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body seams, should also be checked for rust or damage, as these issues may not trigger immediate MOT alerts. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as some faults may remain undetected until deeper inspection.
