2012 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · LA12 AEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-17 at 115,383 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current compliance. However, the preceding test on 2026-02-16 at 115,381 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects noted, suggesting potential procedural or administrative issues. The trend from 2024 to 2026 shows inconsistent outcomes, with passes in 2024-02-26 (85,904 miles) and 2025-02-25 (101,223 miles), but fails in 2025-02-19 (100,892 miles) and 2026-02-16. This irregularity implies possible minor unresolved issues or testing variances, though no critical faults were recorded in the latest assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 115,383 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 8,242 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps exist between 2024-02-26 (85,904 miles) and 2025-02-19 (100,892 miles), a 14,988-mile increase in 12 months, followed by a smaller jump to 101,223 miles by 2025-02-25. The final 14,160 miles to 115,383 were added in 12 months, reflecting accelerated usage. These patterns suggest periods of active use but no extreme wear indicators in the MOT records. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs, common wear points in this model. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is positive, but the 2026-02-16 fail without details warrants scrutiny of brake systems, including caliper binding and disc thickness. Structural integrity appears unremarkable, but a physical inspection for rust on underbody panels and chassis seams is advisable. No recurring issues were flagged, but the inconsistent MOT outcomes highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase check.
