2016 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · SE54 ANJ

The Audi Q5 passed its most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 157,616 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged. The vehicle cleared every annual test from 31 January 2023 through to the current pass, showing a clean roadworthiness record over the last three years. A failed test on 4 February 2026 at 157,555 miles listed no defects, with the car passing two days later, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a genuine fault. The recorded mileage sits at 157,616 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 15,762 miles per year and placing this Q5 well above typical use for its age. Annual increments stayed moderate: 131,348 miles on 31 January 2023, 136,637 on 30 January 2024, 147,511 on 29 January 2025, then 157,616 by February 2026. The step from the 2025 to 2026 test shows about 10,100 miles added in under twelve months. No long standing gaps appear in the sequence, and the sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage and ten-year age, as these components accrue fatigue not always visible in a pass-with-no-defects MOT. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the record is favourable, yet DVSA testers only record visible defects at test time. Verify underneath structural integrity and check for binding calipers or worn drivetrain mounts before purchase, since the history offers no prior warning of such wear.
