2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · CX56 RYL

The latest 2026‑01‑21 MOT at 105,861 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend since the previous test. The vehicle, a 2013 model now 13 years old, has accumulated 105,861 miles, averaging about 8,143 miles per year. Early records show modest annual usage, with the 2016‑10‑17 test at 36,449 miles followed by a 2017‑11‑06 test at 42,100 miles, representing roughly 5,600 miles in six months. Mileage growth accelerated after 2022, with the 2022‑04‑30 test at 64,215 miles and the 2023‑04‑06 test at 73,814 miles indicating an increase of over 9,000 miles within a year, and the 2024‑05‑28 test at 88,720 miles reflecting a further rise of nearly 15,000 miles in 13 months. This pattern suggests increasing usage in recent years rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus on the recurring tyre issues: repeated wear on the near‑side rear tyre edge and frequent tread‑depth shortfalls, which point to possible alignment or suspension wear; the near‑side rear brake pad wear noted in 2023 and 2024 indicates the need to inspect brake discs, calipers and pads for binding or uneven wear. The 2025‑01‑20 test flagged a damaged near‑side rear reflector and a lamp with a coating on the lens, so the rear lighting assembly should be examined for corrosion or moisture ingress. No structural rust or chassis defects were recorded, but a visual check of the wheel arches, suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable given the tyre wear pattern. Overall, the vehicle presents as roadworthy with a clean recent MOT, but the history of tyre wear, brake pad thinning and occasional lighting defects suggests that a thorough in‑person inspection of the rear suspension, braking system and lighting components is essential before purchase.
