2009 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · DY59 RFF

The 2009 Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 171,233 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,000 miles, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 138,563 miles in February 2022, rising to 147,295 by January 2023, 157,873 in February 2024, 163,912 in January 2025, and 171,233 in February 2026. No gaps or abrupt jumps appear in the data, and the DVSA history carries zero advisories across all five entries. A clean MOT sheet with no advisories does not mean the car is free of wear. At 171,233 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links will have absorbed substantial load cycles, and brake discs with calipers deserve a physical check for lip wear or sticking. The Q5's subframes and sills should be inspected for corrosion even though the tester logged none. The buyer should commission an independent underside inspection before purchase. Previous owners clearly kept the vehicle to a test-pass standard, yet the absence of recorded advisories on a high-mileage SUV suggests consumable items were likely changed only when forced. Verify service history for timing chain, Haldex coupling, and gearbox oil against the mileage.
