Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Audi Q5 passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 129,716 miles with no defects recorded, giving it a current roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures on 30 March 2026 (129,713 miles) and 14 January 2025 (124,460 miles) where the tester logged no actual defects. These entries suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle has since cleared both with clean passes. Mileage sits at 129,716 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 7,630 miles per year which is typical for the age. The record shows 124,466 miles on 17 January 2025, rising to 125,152 by 7 April 2025, then a near-flat 4,564 miles to the April 2026 test. This low annual accumulation over the last fifteen months implies lighter recent use, though the sparse five-entry history limits insight into earlier upkeep patterns between major tests. No advisories or defects appear across any recorded test, so the DVSA data alone flags no suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's seventeen years, as MOT passes without advisories do not capture incipient wear on coil springs or binding calipers. The repeated no-defect failures without listed faults warrant a check of the test centre's documentation and the vehicle's service book. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, but the thin record gives little evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond minimum legal standards.
