2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · BN18 KLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT test on 11 March 2026 at 76,348 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, the immediate failure just one day prior indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. At 76,333 miles, all four tyres failed for being below legal limits or worn to the edges, suggesting the previous owner only addressed consumable issues when necessitating a passing certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, with 8,785 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 9,042 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components, though it places standard wear on the suspension and braking system. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the alignment and suspension geometry, as the 2026 failure noted edge wear on the front tyres. This often points to worn control arm bushes or incorrect camber settings rather than simple mileage wear. Given the age of the vehicle and the recent replacement of sets of tyres, the brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical faults in the history, so the focus remains on the routine upkeep of wear-related components.
