2022 Audi Q5 S Line 45 Tfsi Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Petrol · T1 ORV

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by two consecutive MOT passes within the last 13 months. The most recent test on 2026-05-06 confirmed compliance at 24,638 miles, with only a minor issue involving a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This indicates consistent upkeep and responsible driving habits, with no signs of neglect or escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage progression shows a typical usage pattern for a four-year-old vehicle, with approximately 6,500 miles added over the past year. The gap between MOTs is standard, and the mileage increase aligns with average annual usage. There are no signs of unusually rapid wear or long periods of inactivity, suggesting the car has been regularly driven and maintained. Despite the overall positive record, the recurring presence of tyre-related issues—specifically nails and a cut on the nearside rear tyre—warrants close inspection of the suspension and wheel alignment. A cut that does not penetrate the ply may be acceptable for now, but it could compromise structural integrity over time, especially under load or during cornering. Additionally, the nearside rear tyre should be monitored for potential internal damage from the nail, which could lead to a sudden failure if not addressed. Buyers should also examine the brake system, particularly the rear brakes, as binding issues were flagged in the 2025-05-12 test. While this was not a failure, it indicates potential wear or lack of lubrication in the caliper mechanism. A thorough brake inspection, including pad thickness and caliper movement, is recommended. Finally, check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody and suspension components, as these can develop even in low-mileage vehicles depending on environmental exposure.
