2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · HU57 JAN

The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-13 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 102,243 miles. Over the past three annual tests, there has been no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural issues, suggesting a stable maintenance history. The only anomaly was a single failure in February 2024 at 92,107 miles, though no defects were logged—this implies either a minor administrative oversight or a test centre error rather than a recurring problem. The absence of advisories or repeated faults indicates the vehicle has not experienced persistent wear in critical areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging around 9,300 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, ruling out prolonged neglect or sudden high-mileage periods. The 2024 failure at 92,107 miles—just two miles before the subsequent pass at 92,115—further supports this pattern, as it does not suggest accelerated wear. However, the lack of pre-failure MOTs between 2023 and 2024 means there is no data to confirm whether any early signs of wear were addressed before the 2024 test. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested during an MOT. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of front and rear bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are not routinely checked for minor degradation. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen varied driving conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be assessed for corrosion, as this is often not visible from routine MOT checks. Additionally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions tests do not always detect minor failures. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so a professional inspection is advisable.
