Our Verdict
A highly recommended example for buyers benefiting from an exceptionally clean MOT record and low mileage. This Q5 represents a solid prospect in the premium SUV segment.
When inspecting this specific Q5, your priority should be verifying the service history to ensure the 3.0-litre engine has had its oil changes performed; while the MOT record is clean, it does not reflect the internal health of the turbo or timing components. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block, which are common on these high-displacement units.
Given the low mileage, also inspect the condition of the tyres and brakes. Low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related rubber degradation or seized components if used infrequently. Ensure the quattro system operates smoothly without hesitation, as this is a core feature of this model.
The 3000cc diesel engine will fall into a higher tax band and insurance group compared to the smaller 2.0L variants. Expect fuel economy to be respectable for long-distance cruising, but costs will rise significantly in heavy city traffic.
Annual running costs are estimated between £1,800 and £2,400, accounting for higher-than-average fuel consumption, insurance, and the premium maintenance costs associated with Audi's parts and specialist labour.
While the MOT history for this vehicle shows no failures, you should manually inspect the front coil springs, which are identified as a top failure reason for the Q5 model across our aggregate data. Listen for any clunking or knocking noises when driving over uneven surfaces.
Pay close attention to the electronic systems and the infotainment interface, as these are common failure points that can be expensive to repair. Additionally, test the diesel particulate filter (DPF) performance by ensuring the car has been used for long motorway runs recently to prevent clogging.
This 2016 Audi Q5 features a large 3.0L diesel engine and has remained remarkably well-presented on paper. With 67,666 miles, it sits significantly below the national average mileage for its age. The MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows four consecutive passes with zero defects or advisories, suggesting a consistent level of basic mechanical attention over the last four years.
The 3.0L TDI engine is generally considered robust, but requires strict adherence to service intervals to avoid expensive turbo or D-related issues.
