2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · LG66 ARD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 108,609 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passes dating back to June 2023, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,576 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently. Between the March 2024 test at 71,917 miles and the March 2025 test at 88,861 miles, the car covered 16,944 miles. This acceleration continued into 2026, with nearly 20,000 miles added in just over a year. Such high utilisation typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the lack of advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle with this mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. High-mileage Audis often develop wear in these areas that may not trigger an immediate MOT failure but will require imminent replacement. Check the service history for evidence of oil changes and transmission fluid flushes. The MOT record confirms the car is legal, but it does not prove that preventative maintenance has kept pace with the rapid mileage accumulation. Focus on the condition of the tyres and the presence of any structural corrosion on the underside, as these are common wear points for a Q5 of this age and distance.
