2015 AUDI Q53.0L Diesel

The 2015 Audi Q5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-18 inspection at 135,148 miles. All prior tests from 2020 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, though high mileage at 135,148 miles raises expectations for thorough pre-purchase checks on wear-prone components. The vehicle’s mileage of 135,148 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 12,286 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This rate accelerates wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though the MOT record shows no evidence of neglect. A notable gap between the 2021-10-05 test (117,248 miles) and 2023-01-11 test (124,362 miles) suggests a 7,114-mile increase over 15 months, which may reflect periods of heavy use. However, the consistent passing of tests implies no critical failures arose from this usage pattern. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common issues in high-mileage Audis, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a detailed mechanical inspection to confirm the absence of hidden faults, such as binding rear brakes or degraded seals, which could emerge under prolonged use.
