2015 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · FT64 AWA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT on 11 June 2026 at 41,934 miles. While the 2025 test at 41,370 miles flagged several advisories regarding tyre condition and suspension component wear, the subsequent absence of defects suggests these issues were addressed. The maintenance trend appears to be improving following a period of neglected consumable upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,812 miles per year. The record shows consistent, incremental growth, such as the 2,154-mile increase between September 2024 and September 2025. This pattern indicates light usage, though the low annual mileage may contribute to the perishing of rubber components like tyres and suspension bushes, which was clearly observed in the September 2023 and September 2025 tests. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the suspension system and tyre integrity. The September 2025 test specifically identified worn front lower suspension arm bushes and perishing rear arm bushes. Although the 2026 test recorded no defects, these rubber components often require replacement due to age rather than mileage. Checking for any signs of play in the suspension or uneven tyre wear will confirm if the previous repairs were comprehensive. The history of tyre-related advisories, including cracking, perishing, and edge wear noted in both 2023 and 2025, suggests a tendency for the previous owner to defer basic maintenance. While the current status is clear, verifying the age and manufacture date of the existing tyres is a prudent step to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life due to age-related degradation.
