2023 Audi Q5 S Line 40 TDI Mhev Quat S-A 2.0L Diesel · GL72 RYJ

The most recent MOT, conducted on 2026-01-12 at 33,817 miles, resulted in a pass. However, a specific defect was recorded: the offside front outer tyre was noted as "worn close to legal limit/worn on edge" under section 5.2.3 (e). This indicates the tyre’s tread depth is nearing the 1.6mm legal minimum, and the wear pattern suggests potential alignment issues, suspension wear, or improper balancing. The vehicle’s mileage of 33,817 miles is consistent with its age (approximately 11,272 miles per year), which falls within the typical range for a three-year-old car. This suggests neither unusually heavy use nor prolonged periods of inactivity. However, without additional MOT data or service records, it is unclear whether this tyre wear is an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern of component degradation. The MOT history is limited to a single entry, so there is no evidence of recurring faults or a worsening condition trend. The recorded defect highlights a specific maintenance need but does not indicate systemic issues. The vehicle’s age and mileage suggest normal wear expectations, though the tyre’s condition warrants closer inspection for underlying mechanical factors. A buyer should prioritise checking the tyres for uneven wear, suspension components for play or damage, and alignment settings.
