2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · LR18 ABK

This 2018 Audi Q5 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2022 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2026-04-10 at 65,692 miles confirms no outstanding issues, though the 13-month gap since then—while within legal limits—means a buyer should verify current condition, particularly for wear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The absence of recurring advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though no record indicates proactive servicing beyond statutory MOT requirements. Mileage progression shows steady usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The vehicle accumulated roughly 3,755 miles between tests, averaging just under 9,400 miles annually—a rate consistent with typical owner patterns for this age. The gap between the February 2023 (52,871 miles) and March 2022 (42,730 miles) tests is notable at 10,141 miles in under a year, but no failures during that period imply the extra distance was managed without critical wear. There’s no evidence of neglect, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means some hidden deterioration could exist. Given the clean MOT history, priority inspection should focus on high-wear components not directly tested by the MOT. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven sagging or clunking, as Audi Q5s of this era are prone to bush deterioration around 70,000–80,000 miles. Brake discs and pads, while not failed here, may show uneven wear or glazing; binding calipers or excessive heat marks warrant closer scrutiny. Exhaust emissions should be monitored for leaks or excessive smoke, though the absence of advisories reduces risk. Finally, inspect for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as this model is susceptible to rust progression over time. The lack of advisories doesn’t preclude these areas from requiring attention.
