2011 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · 1000 FC

The vehicle presents as roadworthy, with the most recent October 2024 test returning a clean PASSED grade at 68,296 miles. The maintenance trend is improving, as the car has passed three consecutive tests since a single failure in 2022, which was rectified. The low annual mileage of approximately 4,553 miles over 15 years suggests the vehicle has seen lighter use, which generally preserves mechanical components but may indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, potentially affecting battery life and brake fluid condition. The MOT record reveals a notable pattern of tyre degradation. The 2022 failure cited a deep cut in the offside rear tyre, which was subsequently repaired, as evidenced by the following three clean passes. However, the 2021 test flagged minor scoring on all four brake discs, indicating early-stage wear that requires monitoring. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a buyer should inspect the brake discs closely for any further scoring, as well as checking the steering and suspension bushes for potential stiffness from disuse. Additionally, the battery should be tested for adequate cranking power, and a visual inspection of the exhaust system should be conducted to check for any corrosion.
