2014 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · GU14 VFV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 96,906 miles passed with advisories for both rear tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. While the car has avoided any major mechanical or structural failures, the recurring advisories suggest that the owner tends to defer consumable replacements until they reach the point of failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 11,000 miles between March 2023 and June 2024, followed by nearly 17,000 miles between June 2024 and August 2025. This steady usage pattern indicates regular operation, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals compared to long periods ofກັບ, though the increased rate of travel in the final year explains the accelerated wear on the tyres and brake components between inspections. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment. The repeated reports of tyres worn on the inner edges across 2022, 2024, and 2025 point toward potential issues with worn control arm bushes or incorrect tracking settings that have not been addressed. The previous advisory for thin rear brake pads in 2023, followed by the high mileage in 2025, necessitates a physical check of the remaining pad material and caliper condition to ensure no binding or excessive scoring is present on the discs.
