2011 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · LC61 FJO

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-09-02, with no defects recorded at 74,001 miles. The maintenance trend is stable — all five consecutive annual tests from 2021 to 2025 passed without issue, indicating consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failure items across these tests suggests the owner has maintained the car to a standard that meets UK roadworthiness requirements. Mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 15-year age and supports the notion of low annual usage. The 74,001-mile reading at the 2025 test is only 3,933 miles above the 70,068-mile reading from the 2024 test — a modest jump that reflects minimal wear over the past year. There are no gaps in the record, and no sudden spikes in mileage, which reinforces the impression of regular, gentle use rather than long-term storage or heavy-duty operation. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the suspension components closely — particularly the rear bushes and coil springs — as these are common wear points on Q5s of this age and mileage, even if not flagged in tests. Brake systems should also be evaluated in person, as while no binding calipers or worn discs were recorded, the rear brakes have historically shown minor wear in similar models. Check for corrosion around wheel arches and underbody panels, as rust can develop slowly even on low-mileage vehicles. Tyre condition and wiper blade integrity should be assessed, as these are consumables that may have been neglected despite the passing MOTs. The record shows no structural or emission-related failures, but visual inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden damage or deferred maintenance.
