2017 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · LL67 WUW

A consistent history of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a record remarkably free of advisories or documented mechanical defects. While the history shows two instances of failure in 2022 and 2023, these were resolved immediately with no specific defects ever recorded on the public register, and the most recent pass on 4 November 2024 confirms a stable mechanical state. The total absence of recurring warnings regarding corrosion or braking efficiency suggests a vehicle that has maintained its structural and mechanical integrity well. The odometer reading of 72,357 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, reflecting a steady usage rate of approximately 8,040 miles per year. This level of activity is generally ideal, as it avoids the risks associated with excessive idling or long periods of standing, which can lead to perished seals or stagnant fluids. Mechanically, this suggests a balanced wear profile across the drivetrain and suspension, without the extreme degradation typically found in high-mileage examples. Because the DVSA records are devoid of specific warnings, there are no chronic failures in the suspension, braking system, or exhaust to target. Inspection should therefore focus on a general physical verification of the chassis and engine bay. On the test drive, listen for any subtle knocks from the suspension bushes over speed bumps and ensure there is no vibration or judder through the brake pedal under heavy deceleration. Confirming the smooth operation of the gear changes and the absence of any fluid leaks under the engine will complete the verification of the clean MOT profile.
