2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · DF65 CWG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 64,810 miles with no recorded defects. However, the history reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test is clean, the previous failures in September 2024 and 2025 indicate that faults are only addressed after failing an inspection. The trend shows an improving state following necessary repairs, but the recurring issues suggest inconsistent oversight between service intervals. At 64,810 miles, this eleven-year-old Audi shows significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 6,784 miles, yet it suffered from perishing and cracking tyres noted in the 2024 test. This pattern suggests the car spends time sitting for long periods rather than wearing out through use. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain components. The nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot failed in both 2024 and 2025, so you must verify that the replacement is free of grease leakage or further damage to the joint. The recurring inner edge wear on the front tyres from 2024 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes in the front wish arms, which requires professional attention to prevent further premature tyre failure. Specific attention should also be paid to the cooling and braking systems. The September 2025 failure flagged a coolant level below the minimum mark, which in a low-mileage vehicle often indicates a slow leak or a failing expansion cap; check for crusting residue around the radiator and water pump. Given that front brake pads were noted as wearing thin in late 2025, the buyer should measure the remaining pad life and the condition of the brake discs to ensure they are not glazed or corroded from the aforementioned periods of inactivity.
