2019 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · DC19 EPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the test in April 2026 at 63,310 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit with signs of edge wear. This indicates a failure to address consumable replacement prior to the inspection, following a similar advisory in April 2025 regarding the front-pair only. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows a clean period between 2022 and 2023, where the car covered roughly 9,100 miles without any defects. However, the usage increased between the July 2024 test at 47,406 miles and the 2025 test at 54,972 miles. This period of higher mileage coincides with the first appearance of mechanical wear and tear on the braking system and tyres. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2024 test noted pitted and scored discs alongside thin pads on all wheels, which suggests the components were run near the end of their service life. Given the edge wear reported on all four tyres in the most recent test, a physical check for issues with incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes is necessary. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear to ensure the underlying components are not prematurely consuming new rubber.
