2023 Audi Q5 S Line 40 TDI Mhev Quat S-A 2.0L Diesel · AP23 CYZ

A clean MOT record to date means the 2023 Audi Q5 S line has not had any defects recorded by the DVSA, with its sole test on 27 March 2026 passing without advisory or failure. This single, unblemished result indicates that, at least up to the last inspection, the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards and showed no recurring issues that would suggest a developing mechanical problem. At 34,843 miles the car averages roughly 11,600 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the normal usage envelope for a three‑year‑old executive SUV. The mileage progression appears steady, with no large gaps between recorded kilometres that would imply prolonged storage or unusually rapid wear. Such a usage pattern typically results in moderate consumption of wear items such as brake pads, tyre tread and suspension components, while still leaving ample life for major drivetrain elements provided routine servicing has been observed. When conducting a pre‑purchase inspection, give particular attention to the front and rear suspension bushings and coil springs, as these are the parts most likely to begin showing fatigue around the 30‑40 k mile mark on a diesel‑powered Q5. Listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps, and feel for any looseness in the steering column or wheel wobble at higher speeds, which would point to worn mounts or bushings. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns or scoring, and test the pedal for a firm, consistent feel without pulsation, indicating that the braking system remains within acceptable limits. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust after‑treatment system, especially the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and associated sensors, as these components can develop clogging or fault codes after several tens of thousands of miles. Look for any visible oil leaks around the valve cover and oil filter housing, and check the engine bay for signs of coolant seepage or corrosion on the subframe. A short test drive should reveal any abnormal engine noises, exhaust smoke, or steering pull, allowing you to confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical state aligns with its clean MOT history.
