2019 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · MS02 AJM

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a transition into minor wear-related issues. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 56,383 miles, the tester identified worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm consoles. While these did not result in a failure as the movement was not excessive, they indicate that the suspension components are beginning to degrade after several years of relatively defect-free operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use domestic vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 16,074 miles in March 2022 to 56,383 miles in September 2025. There is a notable gap of 31,201 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2025, which represents a higher rate of usage compared to previous years. This increased activity likely explains the recent wear observed on the rubber components and bushings despite the overall low total mileage. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the control arm bush wear. Since both sides were flagged simultaneously in 2025, the components are likely nearing the end of their service life and may require replacement soon to prevent steering inaccuracies or uneven tyre wear. The tester also noted a nearside rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt; this area should be cleared to ensure the buckle and tensioning mechanism are fully functional and unobstructed for future inspections.
