2016 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · KX16 ADZ

The 2016 Audi Q5 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 34,113 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five available records, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope during this period. The mileage pattern shows consistently low annual use for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the 24 September 2021 test at 21,178 miles to the 17 September 2025 test at 34,113 miles, the car covered only 12,935 miles over four years, averaging roughly 3,200 miles per year. The earliest recorded test at 21,178 miles in 2021 implies even lighter prior use given the vehicle's 2016 manufacture date. The DVSA data contains no gaps between annual tests and no sudden accumulation of mileage, though the clean record offers limited insight into component condition between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely prolonged standing periods. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion on brake calipers that a pass result will not always expose. The absence of recorded advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity is reassuring, but the Q5's age means underbody corrosion and drivetrain seal condition warrant physical verification. Previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline without deferring MOT dates. The lack of tyre, wiper, or consumable advisories across all entries suggests either careful pre-test preparation or genuinely minimal road use. Given the sparse fault history, the principal risk lies in latent wear from inactivity rather than documented mechanical neglect.
