2021 Audi Q5 S Line 50 Tfsi E Quattro SA 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · YB71 AEC

The Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 December 2025 at 40,789 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 11 December 2024 at 31,634 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure logged on 11 December 2024 at the same mileage and with no defects noted points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle subsequently passing on the same day. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,158 miles per year. The record moves from 31,634 miles in December 2024 to 40,789 miles by December 2025, a modest 9,155-mile annual gain that implies gentle use. The supplied history is sparse, covering only the 2024 and 2025 tests, so no long-term wear pattern or rapid accumulation can be judged beyond this clean two-year window. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm wear status. The lack of recorded corrosion or exhaust emission failures is reassuring, but the 2024 same-day fail with no defect listed warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to rule out a missed test item. Given the low annual mileage, periods of standing may have affected tyre condition or battery health on the plug-in hybrid system, neither of which the MOT cycle would necessarily expose.
