2020 Audi Q5 S Line 45 Tfsi Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Petrol · GF70 YTD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 27,742 miles, it carried advisories for thin front brake pads and both rear tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a pattern of recurring failures and advisories regarding tyre-related issues, suggesting the owner only addresses components once they reach a point of failure during annual inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual intervals of roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles between tests, such as the 3,573 miles covered between 2024 and 2025. This low usage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can also lead to issues such as perished rubber components or flat spotting on brake discs if the car has sat stationary for long periods between drives. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as multiple reports of tyres worn on the edges across 2023, 2024, and 2025 strongly suggest an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The front brake system requires immediate attention as the pads were flagged as thin in the latest record. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, which frequently occurs on vehicles that are not used frequently to keep the components clean.
