2014 Audi SQ5 TDI Quattro Auto 3.0L Heavy oil · EC02 ACC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The test conducted on October 4, 2025, at 124,138 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just 18 miles prior on the same day. While the failure recorded no specific defects, it likely points to an administrative error or a minor sensor discrepancy that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle currently meets all minimum roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,345 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 100,619 miles and the October 2024 test at 122,206 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles in just fifteen months. This period of higher-than-average usage puts significant strain on the Quattro drivetrain and suspension components, yet the clean MOT results during this interval suggest the owner has managed the typical mechanical wear associated with such mileage. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a buyer should focus on high-wear areas common to high-mileage Audi SQ5 models. Physical inspection of the front control arm bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. You should also check the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these components until they reach a failure threshold. Verifying the structural integrity of the underbody is also vital to ensure hidden corrosion has not compromised the vehicle despite the clean digital record.
