2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · 20 OFM

The 2015 Audi Q5 presents a highly stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 at 97,690 miles. The record shows zero recorded defects across the last three annual inspections, indicating consistent upkeep and no recurring mechanical or structural failures. A curious anomaly exists in the data where the vehicle failed on the same day as its pass in both 2024 and 2025 with no defects listed, likely representing an immediate retest following a minor rectification or an emissions anomaly that was swiftly resolved. Regardless, the current roadworthiness status is excellent, with the vehicle meeting all DVSA standards without advisories or failures. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,881 miles annually. Between the September 2023 test at 77,031 miles and the September 2024 test at 88,469 miles, the Q5 covered roughly 11,438 miles. This dropped slightly to around 9,221 miles in the following year leading to the September 2025 test at 97,690 miles. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, suggesting the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which bodes well for the health of its drivetrain and ancillaries. Despite the impeccable MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the known weak points of a mid-life premium SUV. Buyers should physically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature wear, as these components often degrade on heavier Q5 models without triggering an MOT failure. The brake calipers and discs require close scrutiny for corrosion and binding, a common issue on vehicles used for shorter, lower-mileage runs. Verifying the service history for the dual-clutch gearbox and checking the exhaust system for corrosion will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's mechanical integrity beyond the scope of the MOT.
