2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · LM66 FMU

The 2016 Audi Q5 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT test, which passed on 2025-07-25 at 53,701 miles with no defects recorded. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed consistent passing results, with no recorded issues. The single failure in 2023-07-19 at 42,923 miles was noted as having no defects, suggesting a minor procedural or technical anomaly rather than a structural concern. The vehicle’s maintenance history indicates adherence to regulatory standards, with no recurring mechanical faults identified in the past four years. The mileage progression aligns with a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,370 miles, reflecting lighter long-term use. The 2022-07-27 test at 36,587 miles shows a 6,389-mile gap to the 2023-07-25 test, which may indicate periods of reduced activity. Subsequent tests show steady increases of 5,000–6,000 miles annually, consistent with sporadic but regular usage. This pattern suggests the vehicle has not experienced rapid wear on consumables or major components, though prolonged inactivity could contribute to issues like corrosion or seized mechanisms. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these often develop during infrequent use. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, particularly given the vehicle’s age and potential exposure to moisture. No structural integrity concerns are flagged in the record, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the absence of hidden damage or unresolved issues from the 2023 failure.
