2012 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · JA09 TAY

The 2012 Audi Q5 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 7 January 2026 at 112,108 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the maintenance trend has remained consistent and free of escalating mechanical concerns since at least 2022. Annual mileage has tracked close to the vehicle's 8,008-mile yearly average for its age. The tester logged 82,836 miles on 15 February 2022, then 90,034 on 31 January 2023, 96,655 on 7 February 2024, 104,621 on 6 February 2025, and 112,108 on 7 January 2026. The record shows no gaps exceeding twelve months and no sudden accumulation spikes; each interval added roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles, indicating steady moderate use by prior keepers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the Q5's fourteen-year age and 112,000 miles. The absence of advisories in the official history does not rule out latent corrosion on subframes or tired dampers that a road test would expose. Verify the service book against the odometer readings and check underneath for structural rust on sills and suspension mounts. The clean MOT trail suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, yet consumables such as tyres and wiper blades will need assessing for age-related degradation not captured by the annual test.
