2009 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · L33 KAO

The 2009 Audi Q5 demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent test. On 1 July 2025 at 135,766 miles, the vehicle passed its MOT with zero defects recorded. This follows a pattern of consecutive clean passes, indicating the current owner has maintained the car to a high standard. The sole anomaly is a failed test on 26 May 2023 at 119,439 miles, though the subsequent retest just three days later passed without defects, suggesting the issue was promptly rectified. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the May 2022 test at 112,111 miles and the July 2025 test at 135,766 miles, the Q5 covered 23,655 miles over three years, averaging roughly 7,885 miles annually. This steady, consistent accumulation points to regular daily use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessively high motorway mileage. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would indicate a tampered speedometer or neglected servicing intervals. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a 17-year-old vehicle approaching 136,000 miles. The absence of structural advisories on paper does not guarantee the underbody is free from corrosion; a thorough check of the suspension mounts, subframes, and sills is prudent. Buyers should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, alongside measuring the remaining life of the brake discs and pads. While the clean emissions readings suggest the engine runs efficiently, verifying the condition of the turbocharger and checking for any exhaust smoke under load will confirm the long-term health of the drivetrain.
