2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · MM18 ACF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend following a period of inconsistency. The most recent test in April 2026 at 37,779 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for a nearside rear tyre showing a cut near the cords. This indicates a minor consumable wear issue rather than a mechanical failure. Prior to this, the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that the primary mechanical components remained in good condition during recent inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of use, moving from 15,847 miles in July 2022 to 37,779 miles by April 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid stagnation if the car sits for extended periods. The intervals between tests are regular, suggesting the vehicle has been used occasionally but maintained on schedule despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the braking system, as the July 2023 test at 22,054 miles flagged both front and rear brake pads as wearing thin. While these passed in subsequent tests, the recurring nature of pad wear suggests the components may require attention despite the low mileage. The 2021 failure due to an inoperative engine management light and a worn rear tyre indicates a past lapse in basic upkeep that has since been resolved. Verify that the engine management system is functioning correctly and check the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking, which often occurs on low-mileage vehicles that remain stationary.
