2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · YG63 AAX

This Audi Q5 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pattern of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 148,975 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result on 31 March 2025, suggesting a vehicle that is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and environmental requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,460 miles per year. A notable jump in usage occurred between 22 May 2023 at 125,131 miles and 23 May 2024 at 132,137 miles, though this remains within a typical operational range. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 23 May 2024, but the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely a clerical error or a minor issue rectified instantly on site. Despite the clean MOT history, the high total mileage of nearly 149,000 miles necessitates a targeted physical inspection of high-wear components. The MOT test is a snapshot of safety and does not evaluate the health of the drivetrain or internal engine wear. A buyer should specifically check for suspension bush degradation and coil spring fatigue, as these often wear out on heavy SUVs of this age without immediately triggering an MOT failure. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. While the tester flagged no issues in March 2026, the lack of advisories over several years can sometimes indicate a minimalist approach to maintenance rather than proactive replacement. Checking for any signs of underbody corrosion or oil leaks from the engine and gearbox is advised to confirm the vehicle's long-term mechanical integrity.
