2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · LP62 XER

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 140,153 miles. The tester flagged a front upper suspension arm pin or bush as worn but not resulting in excessive movement. Across the five recorded tests the only recurring items are suspension wear, deteriorated CV boots and earlier front‑brake disc scoring, all of which were recorded as advisory rather than failure points, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. Mileage averages roughly 10,800 miles per year, which is typical for a thirteen‑year‑old 2013 Audi Q5. The log shows a 14,333‑mile increase between 25 January 2022 (98,667 mi) and 19 January 2023 (113,000 mi), followed by a 17,055‑mile jump to 30 January 2024 (130,055 mi). Growth slowed to 4,815 miles by 28 January 2025 (134,870 mi) and to 5,283 miles by the latest test. The pattern suggests a period of higher utilisation in 2022‑2024, then a more moderate usage, with no large gaps or unexplained mileage drops. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension arms for any play beyond the advisory wear noted on the 21 January 2026 test, and verify that the CV joint boots replaced after the severe deterioration recorded on 30 January 2024 remain intact and free of leaks. Front brake discs, previously described as worn, pitted or scored on the 25 January 2022 test, merit visual and thickness checks to confirm they have not progressed to a safety concern. A thorough examination of tyre tread depth, wheel alignment and any signs of corrosion on the chassis will complete the assessment, ensuring that the advisory items have not developed into structural or mechanical faults.
