2009 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · E20 GAN

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The June 2026 test at 73,938 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following three consecutive years of clean passes since 2023. This indicates that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage pattern shows very low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,350 miles per year over its seventeen-year lifespan. The data shows consistent, incremental increases in mileage, such as the 2,738-mile increase between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests. This low-mileage usage suggests the vehicle has seen light use, though the long intervals between journeys can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized calipers. Historical records show a pattern of addressing specific consumable and mechanical failures rather than systemic neglect. The tester flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring in April 2023 and an insecure central exhaust silencer in April 2019. Earlier failures in April 2018 highlighted worn brake pads and a door latch issue. While these were isolated incidents, they demonstrate that the vehicle has undergone necessary repairs to maintain compliance. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system and exhaust mounting points to ensure the previous repairs remain robust. Given the low mileage and age, checking the condition of rubber bushes, tyre sidewalls, and the integrity of the windscreen wiper assembly is advisable. Although the recent history is clean, the 2018 failure regarding brake pad thickness suggests that regular monitoring of braking consumables remains necessary as the vehicle continues its low-mileage service.
