2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · KS67 CLY

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-22 (52,659 miles) recorded front brake pads wearing thin, front tyres near legal limits, a broken rear fuel cap strap, and minor windscreen damage. These issues align with a recurring pattern of front brake pad wear and tyre condition concerns observed since 2023. The 2024-12-20 MOT also noted front brake discs and pads wearing, while earlier 2023 entries highlighted front brake pad wear. No major safety defects were recorded in the 2022 MOT, but the trend since 2023 shows consistent attention to front brake components and tyre tread. The vehicle’s mileage of 52,659 miles over 8 years equates to ~6,582 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, but the recurring brake pad and tyre issues may indicate higher-than-average usage or aggressive driving habits. The 2025 MOT’s note of tyres worn close to the 1.6mm legal limit (measured at 2mm) implies regular use, as lighter mileage might delay such wear. However, the absence of major defects in earlier years complicates assessing whether the condition is worsening or stable. The primary risk lies in the front brake system, with pads and discs showing gradual wear since 2023. While not critical, this could signal under-maintenance or excessive strain.
