2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · GF59 GZF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 3 June 2026 at 133,675 miles. While the latest test passed without defects, it failed just days prior due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring. This indicates a reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive replacement. Despite this recent mechanical failure, the overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle maintained clean passes across the three previous annual tests between 2023 and 2025. At 133,675 miles over ten years, this Audi Q5 has covered an average of over 13,000 miles per annum. This high mileage profile typically accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components such as the suspension assembly and braking system. The record shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,500 miles driven between each test from 2023 to 2026. Such regular operation suggests the vehicle has been used frequently rather than sitting idle, which can sometimes prevent the premature degradation of rubber bushings and fluid seals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, given the recent failure of the coil spring. High-mileage German luxury often suffer from worn control arm bushings and leaking shock absorbers which do not always trigger an MOT failure immediately. The record does not list advisories for structural corrosion or brake wear, but the mileage warrants a close check of the undercarriage for salt-related rust. Ensure the replaced spring was fitted with a high-quality component to prevent premature failure on the opposite side.
