2012 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · CX61 NWW

The 2012 Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 18 September 2025 at 135,625 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2023 and 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. The recorded mileage of 135,625 over roughly fourteen years equates to about 9,688 miles per year, a typical usage rate for a vehicle of this age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 113,090 miles at the 9 September 2022 test, 120,503 by 7 September 2023, 127,461 at the 29 August 2024 pass, and 135,625 by September 2025. A failed entry exists on 29 August 2024 at 127,460 miles, one mile before the same-day pass, with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or measurement anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any test. Given the absence of flagged defects, the MOT record implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the lack of advisories across high-mileage years warrants caution. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as these consumables degrade silently without tester comment at this mileage. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked in person, particularly around subframes and sills, since the Q5's age makes hidden rust plausible despite clean tests. Verify the 2024 duplicate entry with the seller's paperwork to confirm no suppressed failure context.
