2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · GF18 AEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 30,012 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passes over the previous four years, indicating a car that has been kept in a condition meeting minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage data presents a significant irregularity that requires scrutiny. Between 28 March 2022 and 2 April 2025, the odometer climbed from 22,505 to 44,816 miles. However, the most recent entry on 23 March 2026 records a mileage of 30,012 miles. This represents a decrease of 14,804 miles in one year, which is physically impossible for a standard odometer. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error by the testing station or a potential odometer rollback. Despite the clean MOT history, the mileage anomaly is the primary concern for any buyer. You should verify the service history stamps and digital records to determine the actual mileage. Because the car has spent periods of low usage, check for signs of stagnation such as perished tyre sidewalls, brake disc corrosion, or a degraded battery. Inspect the suspension bushes and steering rack for dryness or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber degradation due to lack of movement. Ensure the brakes do not bind and that the engine oil shows no signs of sludge, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven long enough to reach operating temperature.
