2015 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · CV15 UCC

The Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 86,433 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 8 January 2024 at 77,138 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a fail on 22 December 2023 at 77,131 miles, logged with no defects recorded, reversed by a pass just over two weeks later. This pattern indicates no ongoing mechanical deterioration across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,858 miles per year. The record moves from 62,658 miles at the 29 November 2021 test to 72,318 miles in November 2022, then 77,131–77,138 miles across the late-2023 and early-2024 tests, reaching 86,433 miles by July 2025. A notable gap exists between the November 2022 and December 2023 entries, roughly 13 months, but annualised use remained ordinary. The sparse, clean history suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without major flagged intervention. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory data in the record. The December 2023 fail with no defects listed points to a possible administrative or emissions-test anomaly rather than a hard mechanical fault, yet the lack of recorded advisories means wear on consumables and structural integrity is undocumented rather than confirmed sound. Prior to purchase, verify the December 2023 failure cause through DVSA backend detail if available, and confirm the car has not stood idle for long periods that could degrade seals or tyres. The clean 2025 pass supports a favourable outlook, but age-related fatigue in steering components and exhaust mountings remains outside the scope of the supplied data.
