2022 Audi Q5 Sport 40 TDI Mhev Quat S-A 2.0L Diesel · GD22 JMU

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with no defects or advisories noted across its recent testing history, including the most recent pass on 04 February 2026. This absence of recorded mechanical issues across the 2025 and 2026 inspections indicates that the components subject to MOT scrutiny, such as braking systems, lighting, and steering, have met the required standards without any flagged deterioration or required remedial work. The vehicle exhibits a low-mileage usage profile, having covered only 18,219 miles over approximately four years. This equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 4,555 miles, which is significantly lower than the UK national average. Mechanically, this pattern of light usage suggests minimal wear on high-friction components like brake discs and pads, as well as less fatigue on suspension bushes and drivetrain elements. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes imply longer periods of inactivity, which can affect the condition of rubber seals and fluid integrity, though no specific defects have been recorded to suggest this has impacted the vehicle's compliance. Given the lack of recorded advisories or failures, there are no specific mechanical faults such as subframe corrosion, oil misting, or worn suspension linkages to investigate based on the DVSA data. On a test drive, the focus should remain on ensuring the low-mileage usage has not resulted in any subtle issues often associated with infrequent driving. Listen for any unusual knocks or knocks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate stiffness in the bushes, and check for any hesitation in the engine response or unusual vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal. The absence of reported issues with exhaust emissions or braking performance suggests the vehicle has operated within standard parameters. While the MOT history is clear, a prospective buyer should still verify the physical condition of the tyres and the presence of any fluid leaks under the vehicle during a stationary inspection, as these are areas that may not always trigger an advisory if they fall just within the pass threshold. The primary mechanical takeaway is a clean regulatory history paired with a low-use profile.
