2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · BK65 KAJ

The overall roadworthiness is currently in the grey zone, with the vehicle failing a MOT in the August 2024 test at 117,506 miles, which falls outside the mandatory 100% clean range. This indicates that while the vehicle may have passed previous tests, the current condition has deteriorated, suggesting a trend of worsening maintenance rather than improvement. The most recent failure occurred in September 2024, placing the vehicle at approximately 11,515 miles per year, which is consistent with its age of 11 years but reflects a significant accumulation of wear and tear in the front driver's door and drivetrain components. The mileage history reveals a pattern of rapid accumulation, particularly concerning the suspension and drivetrain, where the vehicle has maintained roughly 11,515 miles annually without any documented maintenance gaps. This rapid mileage rate is characteristic of a vehicle that has been driven frequently or has been stored for extended periods, leading to the accumulation of dust, road salt, and accumulated grease. The specific failure in August 2024 at 117,506 miles, involving the front driver's door opening mechanism, suggests that the vehicle may have been used in a manner that caused structural damage to these components, such as excessive vibration or improper handling. Given the recurring faults, particularly the deteriorating constant velocity boot on the drive shaft and the worn tyre tread, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The history indicates that the front driver's door and drivetrain have been compromised, which could lead to a loss of structural integrity if not addressed. The buyer must verify that the brakes are functioning correctly, as the lack of a clear MOT record for the 2022 test suggests potential issues with the braking system that have not been recorded. A thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain is required to determine if the vehicle meets the safety standards of 100% clean or if further work is necessary before it can be legally registered.
