2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · FY15 ACX

The 2015 Audi Q5 with 122,092 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend despite recent MOT failures. The most recent test on 2026-03-17 resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. Previous tests in 2025-03-27 (passed) and 2025-03-24 (failed) also lacked defect listings, suggesting potential inconsistencies in testing outcomes. The absence of recorded issues across multiple annual checks implies no critical mechanical or structural failures, but the recurring failures without detail raise questions about the vehicle’s compliance with safety standards. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,099 miles annually. Tests were conducted at 114,450 (2025-03-27), 114,408 (2025-03-24), 106,231 (2024-04-02), and 96,660 (2023-03-15), showing consistent intervals and no abrupt mileage spikes. The 42-mile gap between the 2025-03-24 and 2025-03-27 tests may reflect data entry errors or overlapping testing periods, but the overall pattern suggests regular maintenance. No significant wear indicators, such as excessive tyre tread loss or corrosion, are evident from the record. A buyer should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to potential binding or uneven wear. The recent MOT failure, though unexplained, highlights the need to verify the vehicle’s compliance with emissions and safety regulations. Structural integrity and exhaust system corrosion should also be assessed, as these are common concerns for older models. The lack of defect records does not eliminate risks, so a professional evaluation is essential before purchase.
