Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
Given the mileage of 119,092, you must verify the service history specifically for the timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. The 2024 MOT failure for brake pads thinner than 1.5mm and multiple worn tyres suggests a period where maintenance was reactive rather than proactive; check for evidence of recent comprehensive servicing to ensure other wear items have been addressed.
Negotiate the price based on the mileage, which exceeds the average annual model figure of 8,625 miles by a significant margin. Ensure that the windscreen chip noted in 2024 has been repaired and that the bonnet catch lever mentioned in the records is now functioning correctly.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Q5 offers a balance of torque and efficiency, though fuel costs will be higher for a driver mirroring this vehicle's high-mileage history. Insurance groups for the Q5 are typically mid-to-high, and road tax will be based on its 2017 CO2 emissions bracket.
Annual maintenance costs are likely to increase as the vehicle surpasses 120,000 miles, particularly regarding suspension components and brake replacements. Expect a higher-than-average annual spend on tyres given the 20-inch wheel size indicated in the MOT records.
Carefully inspect the brake discs and pads, as the vehicle failed in 2024 with pads under 1.5mm; ensure they have been replaced with quality parts. Check all four tyres for uneven wear, as the 2024 and 2025 MOTs both flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit on the offside.
Reference the model's aggregate data and inspect the coil springs for cracks or corrosion, as these are a known top failure reason for the Q5. Additionally, test the windscreen washer system and check the windscreen for any remaining chips or cracks noted in the 2024 history.
This 2017 grey Audi Q5 2.0L diesel has covered 119,092 miles, which is substantially higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a failure in July 2024 due to critically worn brake pads and tyres, although it passed its most recent test in July 2026 without any recorded defects.
The Audi Q5 has an average MOT pass rate of 87.1%, with common failure points being coil springs and windscreen washer systems.
