2010 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · F8 YER

This 2010 Audi Q5 demonstrates a remarkably stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 21 June 2025 at 109,156 miles. The preceding test on 20 June 2025 resulted in a refusal certificate, as did the tests on 18 June 2024 and 20 June 2023 immediately prior to their respective next-day passes. While the DVSA database records these initial failures without specific defect text, the pattern strongly indicates administrative rectifications or minor preliminary rejections rather than chronic structural decay. The vehicle accumulates mileage at a predictable and moderate pace, matching its age with an average of roughly 6,800 miles per year. The jump from the 2023 test through the 2024 checks and up to the June 2025 inspection shows consistent, light usage without any suspicious gaps or excessive annual spikes. This usage profile suggests the car spent its life on standard suburban or motorway journeys rather than enduring heavy commercial duty. Prospective buyers should direct their physical inspection toward standard high-mileage Audi mechanicals, focusing heavily on suspension bushes, multi-link control arms, and quattro drivetrain components. Although the digital MOT history is remarkably devoid of advisory notes regarding corrosion or excessive brake wear, a thorough ramp inspection remains essential. You must check the brake discs for lip scoring, inspect the supercharged or turbocharged engine ancillaries for oil leaks, and verify the operation of the electronic parking brake during a test drive.
