2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · BL66 BJO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 67,113 miles initially resulted in a failure due to the offside headlamp aim being too high, but the vehicle passed immediately following rectification. This indicates a minor adjustment was required rather than a component failure. Aside from this single lighting adjustment, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady increase from 24,329 miles in January 2020 to 67,113 miles in January 2026, averaging approximately 7,134 miles per year. This gradual progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. The MOT history highlights a period of neglected consumable maintenance in early 2025. During the test on 15 January 2025 at 58,815 miles, the tester flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This pattern suggests the previous owner may have deferred routine tyre replacements. While the 2026 test shows no further tyre advisories, a buyer should inspect the current tread depth and evenness across all four wheels to ensure the issue was fully resolved. Brake wear was noted as a minor concern in the January 2020 test at 24,329 miles, where both front and rear pads were flagged as wearing thin. Given the time elapsed and the mileage since that inspection, these components would have certainly required replacement. A physical inspection of the brake discs for scoring and the pads for remaining thickness is recommended. Beyond these consumables, the absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion suggests the vehicle has been kept in good mechanical order.
