2020 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · FL20 LVS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 62,930 miles passed, it revealed advisories for both front inner tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This follows a failure in June 2024 for a damaged tyre and an ineffective wiper blade, suggesting that consumables are often only addressed once they necessitate replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 9,000 miles between the July 2023 and June 2024 tests, followed by another 9,000 miles in the following year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, though the 2023 record at 30,993 miles highlighted worn brake pads and cracking tyres, indicating that components are reaching their life limits between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment. The uneven edge wear noted in the 2026 advisory often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking settings, which will rapidly consume any new tyres. Additionally, since the 2023 test flagged brake pads near their wear sensors, the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs should be verified to ensure they have been properly maintained. The history of cracking in tyres from 2023 suggests the rubber compounds may be aging, necessitating a check of the sidewalls for dry rot.
