2013 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · C7 CUK

The vehicle presents a stable state of roadworthiness with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 May 2026 at 127,359 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that all mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum standards. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that previous issues were addressed effectively. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with a 19,500-mile increase between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 11,517 miles covered before the most recent test in May 2026. This regular interval suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent seal degradation and fluid breakdown. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the history indicates previous wear here. The August 2021 test at 64,937 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes. While these were noted as worn but not yet failing, high-mileage Audis often place significant stress on these rubber components. Check for any lateral play or steeringrelated knocks during a test drive to ensure these parts were replaced after the initial advisory. The 2022 advisory regarding a nail in the nearside front tyre was a minor consumable issue that appears to be resolved. Given that there are no records of structural corrosion or brake failures in the last five years, the mechanical integrity of the chassis seems well-maintained. However, at 127,000 miles, a thorough check of the shock absorber mounts and control arm bushings is advisable, as these are common points of wear for this specific model at this mileage.
