2011 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · FT60 EAA

The 2026‑01‑30 MOT at 103,952 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Since the 2021 failure at 83,281 miles, each subsequent test has shown no recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than worsening or improving conditions. The mileage rise from 49,480 miles in 2015 to 103,952 miles in 2026 averages about 6,930 miles per year, matching the typical usage for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. Intervals between tests are regular, with the largest jump of roughly 4,200 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests, and no evidence of prolonged standing periods. Recurring advisories focus on suspension components: upper and lower arm pins and bushes have been flagged in 2022, 2023 and 2024, while a 2021 failure involved an excessively worn front suspension rod ball joint and inner tie rod. Earlier records also note front brake disc pitting in 2018 and tyre wear approaching the legal limit in 2020 and 2021, suggesting periodic but not catastrophic wear. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of all suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, verify the integrity of the front ball joint and tie rod, examine brake discs for scoring or thinning, assess tyre tread depth and sidewall perishing, and look for any structural rust or damage that might affect chassis rigidity.
