2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · G22 PJL

This Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has maintained a clean MOT history over the past three tests, each concluding with a full pass and no recorded defects. The most recent inspection on 5 December 2025—just seven months ago—confirmed the vehicle’s compliance without any advisories or failings, suggesting it has been kept in sound mechanical condition during that period. The absence of recurring issues across three consecutive tests implies that major components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers have not deteriorated significantly. However, the lack of advisories in any test also means there is no historical evidence of pre-existing problems being addressed, so a thorough inspection of wear items and structural integrity remains essential. The recorded mileage of 58,905 miles at the time of the latest MOT reflects a steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 9,800 miles annually over the vehicle’s six-year lifespan. This rate is typical for a luxury SUV of this age, without any abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity that might suggest neglect or extended periods of disuse. The intervals between tests—around 12,000 miles each—align with the DVSA’s recommended frequency for this model, though the gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (10,735 miles) was slightly shorter than the subsequent 12,018 miles. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage, nor any indication of the vehicle being left stationary for prolonged periods, which could accelerate corrosion or suspension degradation. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not covered by the test. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of the front and rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in this model and may not always be detected during a basic MOT. The brake system—including discs, pads, and caliper binding—should be checked for uneven wear or excessive noise, especially if the vehicle has been driven through varied terrain. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, is another critical area, as the Evoque’s off-road capabilities can accelerate rust formation. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are often the first signs of neglected maintenance. The absence of advisories in past tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are necessary.
