2017 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · JB55 AUD

The Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 75,186 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 9 April 2025 at 68,650 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried through. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,354 miles per year. The DVSA data shows a notable low usage period between the 4 May 2023 test at 35,771 miles and the 26 April 2024 test at 57,908 miles, where the car covered over 22,000 miles in under a year, then settled to around 10,700 miles annually thereafter. The history is sparse with only five entries and no advisories, so the record alone gives limited insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the earlier high mileage year. The 8 April 2025 failure at 68,650 miles with no defects listed suggests an administrative or emissions equipment fault rather than a mechanical defect, but the tester should verify the catalytic converter and exhaust emissions in person. No recurring structural or mechanical faults appear in the MOT record, yet the 2017 shell warrants a visual check for underbody corrosion and subframe integrity. The clean advisory history implies previous owners addressed issues before test rather than deferring them, though physical verification of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains prudent.
