2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · K88 NAA

The vehicle's roadworthiness status appears stable, though the most recent MOT results indicate the onset of wear on consumable and suspension components. While the 2026-04-09 test resulted in a pass, the tester flagged thinning brake pads on both the nearside and offside front wheels. The record also identifies wear on the offside front suspension arm pins and bushes, specifically the lower rear arm/rear bush. These issues represent typical age-related degradation rather than a sudden mechanical failure, but they suggest the vehicle is entering a period where more frequent maintenance of the chassis and braking system will be required. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent and predictable pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 71,227 miles, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 31,465 miles in March 2021 to 59,754 miles in April 2025, and finally reaching 71,227 miles in April 2026. This steady progression suggests regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent certain types of deterioration like seized calipers or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly and the braking system. The 2026 advisory regarding worn suspension bushes means the vehicle should be checked for any audible knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces, as these bushes can deteriorate further and impact steering precision. The thinning front brake pads will require imminent replacement to prevent damage to the brake discs. Although the 2025 and 2024 tests showed no defects, the sudden appearance of multiple advisories in the 2026 test marks a clear shift from a clean history to one requiring mechanical attention.
