Our Verdict

When inspecting this 2.0L diesel Q5, focus on the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at regular intervals despite the low annual mileage. Verify that the rear tyres mentioned in the September 2023 MOT were replaced, as tyre perishing is common in low-mileage vehicles where rubber ages before it wears.

Check for any evidence of recent work on the suspension. While this specific vehicle has not failed its MOTs, coil springs are a known common failure point for the Q5 model across wider aggregate data, making them a key point for inspection.

The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway commutes, though frequent short trips may increase maintenance needs. Tax will be determined by the 2018 CO2 emissions bracket, and as a premium SUV, it will sit in a mid-to-high insurance group.

Maintenance costs for the Q5 are typically higher than for mass-market brands, particularly regarding premium tyre replacements and brake components. Owners should budget for higher-than-average parts costs to maintain the vehicle to manufacturer standards.

Carefully inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, specifically on the rear axle, to ensure the issues noted in the 2023 MOT were rectified. Examine the coil springs for signs of corrosion or fractures, as these are a frequent failure point for this model according to aggregate data.

Additionally, test the windscreen washer system to ensure all nozzles are functioning correctly, as this is another common failure point for the Q5. Check all electronic controls in the cabin to ensure they are operating as expected for a 2018 model.

This 2018 grey Audi Q5 diesel has recorded 44,476 miles, which is well below the model average of 8,625 miles per year. Its MOT history shows four consecutive passes with no failures and only minor tyre advisories recorded in 2023. It represents a low-mileage example of a model that maintains a respectable 87.1% average pass rate across the UK fleet.

The Audi Q5 has a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by an average MOT pass rate of 87.1% across 103,425 analysed vehicles.
