2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · AB03 JNB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 58,386 miles which returned with zero defects. This maintenance trend shows improvement following a period of suspension-related advisories in earlier years. The transition from flagged components to clean passes over the last two annual tests suggests that the previous owner addressed the identified mechanical issues rather than allowing them to deteriorate. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between March 2024 (36,973 miles) and February 2026 (58,386 miles), where the car covered over 21,000 miles in under two years. While the low overall mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, the periods of inactivity can sometimes cause rubber-based components to dry and crack due to age rather than friction-related fatigue. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the records from 2022 and 2023 highlighted recurring wear on nearside and offside lower and upper arm bushes. Although these were cleared in recent tests, the buyer should check for any new signs of splitting rubber or excessive play in the joints. The exhaust system also warrants a glance, specifically the central clamp noted for corrosion in 2023, to ensure oxidation has not progressed to a point of compromising the structural integrity of the mounting.
