2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · AF16 VMX

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 February 2026 at 131,152 miles yielded no defects or advisories, maintaining a consistent trend of clean passes. This history suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the immediate mechanical or structural failures typically flagged during the testing process. The mileage profile indicates heavy but consistent use, averaging approximately 13,100 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between February 2022 at 83,363 miles and February 2024 at 107,318 miles, the car covered 23,955 miles, representing a higher-than-average annual accumulation rate. This high mileage is consistent with frequent motorway driving, which is often less taxing on the engine than stop-and-go city traffic but places significant long-term demands on the drivetrain, suspension rubberwork, and cooling components. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should examine the suspension assembly for perished bushes or arm play, as these often reach the end of their life around 130,000 miles. The braking system requires a check for thin discs or sticking calipers, as the MOT only tests for functional failure rather than component thickness. Given the mileage, checking for oil leaks around the turbocharger and engine is essential to ensure the mechanical integrity remains sound.
