2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · AR14 ALF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive annual MOT passes without defects. The most recent test conducted on 18 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded advisories or failures. This consistency across the period from 2021 to 2025 indicates that the vehicle has not failed any primary safety or emissions standards during the last five inspection cycles. At a recorded mileage of 126,423 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year over its ten-year life. This represents a standard annual usage pattern which typically places consistent demand on mechanical components and wear items. The MOT testing intervals remain regular, with tests performed roughly every twelve months, suggesting a consistent approach to compliance with legal requirements rather than long periods of stationary or erratic mileage accumulation. Because the MOT record shows no historical failures or advisories, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of high-mileage components that the tester does not evaluate. Focus should focus on the suspension geometry, specifically control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of play or fatigue, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, and the drivetrain area should be inspected for fluid leaks or bushing degradation that would not necessarily trigger a standard MOT failure. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
