2009 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · DU59 LJF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 153,295 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistent string of passes dating back to 2022 suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed safety-critical items and that the structural integrity, braking systems, and emissions remain within acceptable parameters. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles annually. Between March 2022 and April 2026, the car covered 17,483 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The interval between 2023 and 2024 saw a slight dip in usage with only 1,804 miles recorded, but the subsequent years show the vehicle is still regularly driven. This pattern is beneficial for a vehicle of this age as it prevents dry seals and potential seized calipers associated with long periods of inactivity. While the digital record shows no mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components common to the Audi Q5 platform at this mileage. A buyer should examine the front suspension bushes and control arms for signs of rubber fatigue, as these often degrade after 150,000 miles. Given the age, checking for corrosion on the rear sills and verifying the condition of the exhaust system is also necessary. The lack of recorded advisories for tyres or brake components suggests the vehicle is well-kept, but a manual check of the brake pads and discs remains prudent to ensure no uneven wear has developed.
