Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a premium SUV with relatively low mileage for its age. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, which is a positive indicator for immediate roadworthiness.
When inspecting this 2.0L diesel Q5, focus on the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, they do not confirm if regular oil changes or cambelt replacements have been carried out, which are critical for this engine.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle has travelled more than the model average. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension noise, as coil springs are a known common failure point for the Audi Q5 across the wider fleet.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by your annual mileage. Fuel economy on the Q5 is generally efficient for its size on long motorway journeys, but expect higher consumption in stop-start traffic.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2012 Q5 vary depending on the specific trim and engine output, but buyers should budget for premium parts and specialist labour. Typical maintenance costs for an Audi of this age include regular servicing and potential attention to diesel particulate filters (DPF) if used primarily for short trips.
Pay close attention to the suspension components. Although this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model identifies coil springs as a top reason for MOT failures.
Additionally, inspect the brake components and tyre tread depth. While the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, the gap between the 2023 and 2026 tests means you should verify that all maintenance was performed during that period to ensure the vehicle remains in the condition reflected in its most recent test.
This 2012 Audi Q5, finished in black, has covered 76,364 miles since its first registration in March 2012. Its MOT history is notably clean, with the three most recent tests in 2022, 2023, and 2026 all passing without any recorded defects. Given the model's average annual mileage of 8,635, this vehicle's usage pattern appears to be slightly higher than the statistical average for this model type.
The Audi Q5 shows an average MOT pass rate of 87.1% across the fleet, with coil springs being a frequent cause of failure.
