2020 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · BJ20 UXG

Recurring tyre wear advisories on the rear axle suggest a potential need to monitor wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 December 2025, but the record shows a pattern of edge wear on rear tyres, with an advisory for the nearside rear tyre in 2025 and an advisory for the offside rear tyre in 2024. This indicates a recurring issue with tyre degradation on the rear of the vehicle, despite the passing results. The recorded mileage of 51,452 miles over approximately six years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,575 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subject to heavy long-distance motorway use, components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and various rubber seals will have undergone standard wear cycles commensurate with this distance. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension and wheel alignment during a test drive. Given the repeated advisories for tyres being worn on the edges, it is necessary to check for uneven tread wear across all four tyres and listen for any knocking or clunking sounds from the rear suspension when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps. Such symptoms could indicate worn bushings or dampers that are contributing to the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2024 and 2025 test results. Additionally, the 2023 failure regarding insufficient windscreen washer fluid and the advisory for a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) warning light should be verified as resolved. During the inspection, ensure the washer system operates with full pressure and that no warning lights remain illuminated on the dashboard. While the TPMS issue was noted in early 2023, confirming that the system is currently communicating correctly with the vehicle's electronics is a necessary step to ensure all previously flagged electronic advisories have been addressed.
