2017 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · LS67 BYN

The 2017 Audi Q5 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 49,135 miles on 28 May 2026 with zero defects recorded. Following a failure in October 2023, the subsequent three consecutive annual tests have passed without any advisories or failures. This trajectory indicates that the previous owner addressed the earlier mechanical faults promptly and has maintained the vehicle to a high standard since. The recorded mileage of 49,135 miles over nine years equates to an average of roughly 5,459 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a steady accumulation of miles, with the vehicle covering 8,767 miles between October 2024 and May 2026, and 8,737 miles between October 2023 and October 2024. Such low annual mileage suggests predominantly short-trip usage or extended periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to premature deterioration of rubber components and brake surfaces despite the low distance covered. The October 2023 failure at 23,755 miles flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and front tyres worn to the legal limit, alongside headlamp aim issues. While the subsequent pass on the same day indicates these items were rectified, a buyer should still inspect the front suspension closely for any returning play or deterioration in the lower arm bushes. The edge wear noted on the front tyres at that time suggests potential alignment issues or aggressive cornering, so checking the current tyre wear patterns and wheel alignment is prudent. Given the low mileage and potential for standing, examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the condition of all rubber hoses and seals, which can perish from age rather than use.
