2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · KA62 BAR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 118,757 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the car failed the test just few days before a successful presentation. This suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical defects or consumable items when prompted by an official failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's 13-year age, averaging approximately 9,135 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the Audi covered 7,081 miles, while it covered 3,126 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This significant drop in annual usage indicates periods of extended standing which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or seized brake calipers, though the lack of recorded defects on the passing tests suggests the vehicle remains functional despite the test failures. A buyer should focus inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in 2025 and 2026, as the provided data does not list the specific defect codes. Given the timing, these were likely minor items like light bulbs, wiper blades, or tyre depth. Considering the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough physical check of the suspension bushes and control arm corrosion on the subframe is essential. Also inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or binding to ensure the recent passing result did not mask underlying mechanical issues in the braking system.
