2011 Audi Q5 S Line TDI Quattro DPF 2.0L Heavy oil · HG02 AAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent MOT test conducted on 30 August 2025 at 96,980 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum regulatory standards. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to safety-critical components following a brief failure period in the prior year. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between May 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 23,364 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate. A notable gap exists in June 2023, where the vehicle failed at 83,616 miles but passed retest just six days later at 83,849 miles. This short interval implies a minor mechanical fix, such as a light bulb or sensor, rather than a systemic failure of the drivetrain or emissions system. While the recent records are clean of advisories, a buyer must still focus on the inherent wear items common to a 15-year-old Audi. The low mileage suggests that rubber components, such as suspension bushes and bushings, may suffer from cracking due to age rather than friction. A physical inspection of the Quattro system for fluid leaks and a check of brake caliper corrosion are essential. Given the age, the diesel particulate filter should also be monitored for restriction to ensure the low-distance usage has not led to significant soot buildup.
