2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · C15 HAS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent inspection indicates a transition from minor wear to required consumable replacement. In the November 2025 test at 50,851 miles, the tester flagged thinning brake pads on both the front and rear axles, alongside pitted or scored brake discs on all four corners. While the vehicle passed, these advisories suggest that the braking system is nearing the end of its service life and will require immediate attention to prevent further degradation of the calipers or rotors. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a low-to-average usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 50,851 miles, averaging roughly 6,356 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 41,957 miles in October 2021 to 50,851 miles in November 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy motorway transit, which helps mitigate the risk of excessive mechanical fatigue in the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system during a physical inspection. The history shows a recurring trend of disc wear, with pitted or scored discs noted in both the November 2023 and November 2025 tests. Given that the most recent report lists both pads and discs as worn, the buyer should verify whether a complete brake overhaul has been performed or if the vehicle is currently running on nearing-limit components. The December 2022 test at 43,518 miles highlighted several tyre issues, including cracking, perishing, and tread depth approaching the legal limit on multiple corners. While these are standard consumable items, they indicate that previous maintenance focused on reactive replacements rather than proactive upkeep. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the lack of recorded structural or suspension defects across the five-year history suggests the chassis and major mechanical components remain in good condition.
