2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · GP16 LNF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 85,527 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful inspection in September 2024 at 71,690 miles, which also showed no issues. The absence of any recorded faults over the last two testing cycles suggests that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle. The recorded distance of 85,527 miles averages approximately 8,550 miles per year, indicating steady rather than sporadic use. The intervals between tests show regular annual inspections, with the mileage increasing by roughly 14,000 to 15,000 miles between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests. This predictable pattern reduces the likelihood of the vehicle having suffered from long periods of inactivity which can lead to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The October 2022 test at 45,764 miles flagged worn swivel pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front axles. While the subsequent clean passes suggest these components were likely replaced, a thorough check of the control arm bushes and ball joints is necessary to ensure no recurring play or noise exists. The history also shows a pattern of tyre wear issues, specifically in 2021 and 2022, which indicates that previous owners may have neglected alignment or tread depth monitoring. Given the clean recent history, the primary mechanical focus should remain on verifying that the suspension repairs from 2022 were comprehensive. Checking the condition of the tyres and ensuring the wheel alignment is correct will address the previous trend of edge wear. The vehicle currently shows no signs of escalating mechanical degradation, but verifying the integrity of the front-end bushings remains the most prudent course of action for a prospective purchaser.
