2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · JD07 NJD

The Audi Q5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 48,258 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,000 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, which is typical for the vehicle's age. The records show steady accumulation: 30,124 miles in January 2022, 35,797 by February 2023, 41,354 in January 2024, 44,742 in January 2025, and 48,258 by January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, with every entry listing zero defects and no flagged wear items. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as the MOT record offers no visibility of emerging wear that a clean pass does not capture. Structural corrosion and underbody integrity warrant a physical check given the vehicle's age, even though no tester raised exhaust or chassis concerns. The absence of recurring faults suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. Low annual use may also mean longer periods standing, so check tyre sidewall condition and brake caliper freedom before committing.
