2019 Audi Q5 S Line 40 TDI Quattro S-A 2.0L Heavy oil · CX11 CON

The Audi Q5 presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded across both available tests, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 76,469 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, which is a strong positive signal for overall mechanical health and structural integrity. The earlier test on 1 December 2023 at 44,348 miles also passed cleanly, suggesting consistent upkeep rather than reactive repairs between tests. The mileage accumulation between the two recorded tests is notable. Over the 23-month gap from December 2023 to November 2025, the vehicle covered 32,121 miles, equating to roughly 16,759 miles per year. This is significantly above the vehicle's lifetime average of approximately 10,924 miles per year and points to sustained high-mileage use in recent years. The MOT record only captures two data points across seven years of vehicle life, so the service and maintenance history between these dates remains unverified through this source alone. Despite the clean MOT outcomes, the recent high annual mileage warrants closer physical inspection of components subject to accelerated wear. The suspension system, including front and rear bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, should be checked for deterioration consistent with sustained motorway and mixed-use driving. Brake discs, pads, and calipers deserve attention given the 32,000-mile interval since the last recorded test, as binding calipers or uneven disc wear can develop without triggering an MOT failure until advanced. The dual-mass flywheel and gearbox operation should also be assessed on a test drive, as the 40 TDI's quattro drivetrain places additional load on transmission components over high mileages. Tyre condition and exhaust emissions performance are worth verifying in person, even though no advisories were flagged. The S Line suspension setup sits lower and firmer than standard Q5 variants, which can accelerate wear on lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar links. A thorough underbody inspection for corrosion around suspension mounting points and subframes is advisable, particularly if the vehicle has been used extensively on salted winter roads during its high-mileage phase.
