2014 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · LS 8160

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of neglect regarding consumable items. The most recent test in July 2025 at 114,014 miles resulted in a pass despite front tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven wear. This continues a recurring issue seen over the previous three years where tyre condition consistently flagged the tester, suggesting the owner only addresses these issues when they reach an MOT failure point. The mileage progression is consistent with a twelve-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 15,026 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, following a similar interval of 13,464 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady annual usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, though the total of 114,000 miles places significant stress on the complex suspension and drivetrain components typical of the Audi Q5. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment. The repeated reports of tyres worn on the outer edges across 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicate likely worn control arm bushes, ball joints, or steering components that have not been rectified. Check for premature wear on brake discs and signs of leaking in calipers, as the history reflects a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle maintenance.
