2014 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · 20 NAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in November 2025 at 105,335 miles resulted in an initial failure due to rear inner tyre tread depths below the legal limit. While the vehicle passed immediately after rectification, the tester also flagged thin brake pads and worn discs on all axles. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than following a scheduled replacement interval. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 97,905 miles and the November 2025 test at 105,335 miles, the car covered 7,430 miles, indicating steady and typical usage patterns. There is no evidence of long periods of abandonment or sudden spikes in mileage which is generally positive for the rubber-based components and engine seals, provided they are maintained. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record shows recurring worn discs and pads across the 2023 and 2025 tests. The recurring nature of these faults suggests the calipers may be sticking or that the components are simply being run to their absolute limit. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the inner and outer edges indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature replacement of any new tyres.
