2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · JS04 ESS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 89,254 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a failure just five days prior at a nearly identical mileage, suggesting that a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately to secure the passing certificate. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without signs of progressive corrosion or component fatigue. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-average annual use, averaging approximately 6,866 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the December 2022 test at 68,626 miles and the May 2024 test at 80,683 miles, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in seventeen months. Since then, the car has added roughly 8,600 miles over the last year, reflecting steady and predictable usage patterns that typically minimize accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension bushes and control arms, as these are common failure points on the Audi Q5 platform despite low mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for perished rubber components and potential fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox. Given the recent failures in 2024 and 2025, verifying the condition of the brake calipers and discs is wise to ensure that the issues which triggered those failures were properly addressed rather than merely masked.
