2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · MT07 AUD

The 2016 Audi Q5 demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend, achieving a clean pass with zero defects on 11 September 2025 at 77,363 miles. This unbroken string of flawless tests indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard. The complete absence of any advisories or failures across the recorded history suggests diligent upkeep rather than neglect. The recorded mileage aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,736 miles per year. A closer look at the annual intervals reveals a notable shift in usage patterns. Between August 2023 and September 2024, the Q5 covered 9,171 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. The most recent year saw a sharp reduction, with only 1,842 miles added between September 2024 and September 2025. This recent drop suggests a change in ownership or commuting habits, though the overall accumulation remains entirely typical for a decade-old vehicle. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The Audi Q5's complex suspension geometry means buyers should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs for any signs of premature wear or corrosion, particularly given the varied annual mileages. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining life, as the recent low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on standing components rather than even wear. Inspect the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or leaking joints, and verify the condition of the tyres, checking for uneven wear that could indicate misalignment or neglected tracking.
