2021 Audi Q5 S Line 50 Tfsi E Quattro SA 2.0L Hybrid electric · LL21 VMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of neglected minor preventative maintenance. While the most recent test on 20 May 2026 at 33,520 miles passed without defects, it followed a failure just one day prior. This recent failure identified two split outer drive shaft constant velocity boots and an under-inflated tyre, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when a formal test fails rather than performing proactive inspections. At 33,520 miles over five years, the car has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical light road use for a premium SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent between the April 2024 test at 23,911 miles and the May 2025 test at 29,069 miles. This low annual mileage suggests that wear on the drivetrain and suspension components should be minimal, yet the recurring CV boot failures suggest the rubber components may be suffering from age or environmental cracking rather than high mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the drive shafts to ensure the replacement boots have effectively prevented grease leakage from the CV joints. Since both boots failed in both 2025 and 2026, there is a risk that the internal joints have already sustained damage from dirt ingress. The buyer should also check the tyres for uneven wear or flat-spotting, as the 2026 failure highlighted a lack of attention to basic pressure requirements. The absence of structural corrosion or brake advisories across all records suggests the underlying chassis and braking system remain in good condition, despite the reactive maintenance approach.
