Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a premium SUV with exceptionally low mileage and a perfect MOT record. This vehicle represents a rare low-mileage example of the first-generation Q5.
The primary selling point of this vehicle is its low mileage, but buyers should verify that the service history reflects this usage. Low-mileage diesel engines can sometimes suffer from Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) issues if not driven on long distances regularly; ask if the car has been used for motorway miles to keep the system clean.
Check the full service history to ensure oil changes were performed on schedule, as intervals are often stretched. Given the age versus the mileage, also inspect the condition of the tyres and rubber components, as these can perish or crack over time even if the tread is deep.
The 2.0L TID diesel engine is generally efficient for long journeys, offering decent fuel economy compared to petrol counterparts. Tax bands will vary based on the specific trim level, but premium SUVs typically fall into mid-to-high insurance groups.
Annual maintenance costs for an Audi tend to be higher than average brands due to specialist parts and labour rates. Expect an estimated annual budget between £1,200 and £1,600 when including fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still inspect the suspension for signs of wear, as coil springs are noted as a common failure point for this model across the aggregate data. Pay attention to any clunking noises over over bumps, which might indicate worn bushes or springs.
Conduct a walk-around to check for paintwork chips on the grey finish, which can be visible on older Audis. Given the low mileage, ensure the interior plastics are not rattling and that there is no evidence of premature wear on the steering wheel or seat bolster.
This 2015 Audi Q5 is a standout example, having covered just 33,871 miles in eleven years—well below the fleet average of over 8,600 miles per year. Its MOT history is flawless, with five consecutive passes and not a single defect or advisory recorded since its registration. Combined with the 2.0L diesel engine, it appears to be a low-used, well-preserved luxury asset.
The Audi Q5 has a solid reputation, though aggregate MOT data identifies coil springs as a frequent point of failure across the model range.

- DPF and EGR CloggingModerate
Town-driven diesel Q5s block their DPFs and soot up EGR hardware, bringing warning lights, limp mode, and expensive troubleshooting.
