2016 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · KM66 OFS

The 2016 Audi Q5 presents an exemplary roadworthiness record, demonstrating a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 24 October 2025 at 46,317 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. This flawless outcome extends back through every recorded annual test, indicating a vehicle consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard with no recurring faults. Accumulating just 46,317 miles over a decade translates to an average annual mileage of roughly 4,632 miles, which is exceptionally low for its age. The mileage progression shows steady, light use: 24,959 miles in August 2021, 31,657 miles in October 2022, 36,001 miles in October 2023, and 42,978 miles in October 2024. The most recent twelve-month interval saw a reduced accumulation of 3,339 miles, suggesting even lighter recent use or potential periods of standing. Such low mileage typically limits wear on consumables, though prolonged inactivity can introduce its own issues. Despite the pristine MOT history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for the specific ailments associated with low-mileage, short-hop driving. Seized brake calipers and binding handbrake mechanisms frequently afflict vehicles that cover minimal distances, as components lack the thermal cycling to clear surface corrosion. Suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls require close scrutiny for perishing and cracking, as rubber degrades with age and standing rather than use. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, as short journeys prevent the exhaust from reaching optimal operating temperature to evaporate accumulated moisture. While the MOT record proves the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, verifying the condition of these age-sensitive components will confirm whether the previous owner's light usage has preserved or inadvertently degraded the vehicle's structural and mechanical integrity.
