Our Verdict
This Audi Q5 is an exceptionally well-maintained example with a flawless MOT history. It represents a strong purchase for anyone seeking a premium SUV with a transparent and consistent service record.
When inspecting this vehicle, the priority should be verifying the service history to ensure the Audi-recommended maintenance schedule has been strictly followed, particularly for the S-tronic gearbox oil changes if applicable. While the MOT history is clean, always check the physical condition of the tyres and brake discs, as these are common wear items not always captured in a pass certificate.
Negotiate based on the remaining life of the consumables. Since the car is approaching the 70,000-mile mark, ask the seller if any major preventative maintenance has been performed. A clean MOT record is a great sign, but a comprehensive folder of invoices will provide the best peace of mind regarding long-term reliability.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this Q5 offers respectable fuel economy for its class, particularly on motorway journeys. However, be mindful of the potential for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues if the car is used exclusively for short, urban trips, as these engines require regular longer runs to regenerate the system effectively.
Tax and insurance costs for this model are typical for a premium German SUV. You should budget for higher-than-average costs for premium tyres and specialist servicing compared to a standard hatchback. Expect an annual running cost in the region of £1,800-£2,200, accounting for fuel, insurance, tax, and routine maintenance.
Despite the perfect MOT record, you should conduct a thorough physical inspection. Pay close attention to the suspension arms and bushes, as these are listed as common failure points across the wider Q5 model range. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues not yet severe enough to trigger an MOT failure.
Additionally, inspect the exterior and interior for any signs of neglect that wouldn't appear on an MOT test, such as electrical gremlins with the infotainment system or air conditioning performance. Ensure all lights are functioning correctly, as headlamp alignment is a frequent failure point for this model group.
Registered in September 2018, this black 2.0-litre diesel Q5 has been maintained to a high standard, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes. The vehicle has covered approximately 69,042 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern. Its mechanical health appears excellent, given the complete absence of any recorded defects throughout its testing history.
The Audi Q5 generally performs well in reliability metrics, with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 87.5% across the fleet analysed.
