2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · AF18 MDO

The Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 74,910 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 31 January 2024 at 58,330 miles was logged with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed eight days later on 9 February 2024 at 58,331 miles. Annual mileage averages around 9,364 across the eight-year life, which is typical for this model's age. The records show steady accumulation: 49,285 miles in February 2023, 58,331 in February 2024, 65,928 in January 2025, and 74,910 in January 2026. No rapid jumps or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The clean pass sheet across five tests indicates the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and avoided letting advisories lapse into failures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle is now eight years old and past the age where hidden corrosion or worn rubber mounts commonly emerge. The MOT history flags no structural integrity concerns, exhaust emissions failures, or binding calipers, so no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists to investigate. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the prior owner likely addressed wear items before each test. Verify service history matches the mileage intervals and check underneath for early-stage corrosion the MOT may not have captured on a clean pass.
