2016 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · GC65 DJC

The 2016 Audi Q5 demonstrates a sound roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 9 June 2025 at 71,532 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Five successive examinations between 25 November 2021 and that 2025 date returned passes devoid of advisories or failures, showing the vehicle has avoided any recurring mechanical or structural faults. Odometer readings track a restrained usage pattern for a decade-old SUV. The car covered 40,164 miles at its November 2021 test, then 43,404 by June 2022, 51,836 by June 2023, 60,486 by May 2024, and 71,532 by June 2025. This equates to an average annual distance of around 7,150 miles, with the longest single interval yielding 11,046 miles. A slightly early 2021 winter test gave way to strict annual compliance thereafter. The clean sheets across all dates suggest the former owner rectified consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades ahead of each appointment rather than leaving them for the tester to flag. A buyer should still arrange a hands-on inspection of age-sensitive components despite the spotless MOT ledger. The tester never cited suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet a ten-year-old Audi Q5 can develop incipient wear in these areas that falls below advisory thresholds. Given the latest certificate lapsed on 9 June 2026, the vehicle now requires a fresh test before road use, and a pre-purchase check of exhaust emissions and underbody integrity remains prudent.
