2009 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · KV59 XHM

The vehicle currently maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. Following a failure in April 2023, the owner addressed the identified mechanical defects, resulting in three consecutive clean passes with no recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on March 2026 at 195,758 miles confirms the vehicle met all minimum safety standards, indicating that the previous issues with the braking and suspension were resolved and monitored. The mileage profile of 195,758 miles for a 17-year-old vehicle is consistent with average UK usage, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 4,400 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent seals from drying and components from seizing. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension assembly to ensure the previously misted offside rear shock absorber noted in 2023 has not progressed to a significant leak. While the brake pads and discs were flagged in 2023, the high mileage warrants a thorough check of the remaining pad thickness and inspection for uneven wear or disc thinning. Given the age and mileage, the buyer should also verify the integrity of rubber bushings and control arm mounts, as these components are common points of failure on Audi vehicles of this era.
