2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · MX67 KPO

The Audi Q5 last cleared its MOT on 17 March 2025 at 68,842 miles with no defects recorded, but that certificate lapsed on 17 March 2026 and the vehicle now lacks valid roadworthiness approval as of 20 July 2026. Historical trend shows stable upkeep: five successive annual tests from 9 February 2021 to March 2025 returned passes without advisories on suspension, brakes, or structure. Such consistency implies the previous owners maintained the car to a standard that avoided recurrent mechanical faults. Mileage progression fits expectations for an eight-year-old premium SUV. The tester logged 23,740 miles on 9 February 2021, 31,624 miles by 17 March 2022, 42,432 miles on 21 March 2023, 55,625 miles on 15 March 2024, and 68,842 miles on 17 March 2025. Yearly gains averaged near 11,000 miles before easing to about 13,200 in the final interval, signalling regular use rather than long stationary periods. The clean record contains no gaps beyond standard annual cycles, offering reassurance that hidden high-mileage wear is unlikely. A buyer should still arrange a hands-on inspection of key components before commissioning a new MOT. The DVSA history flags no corrosion on structural members, no degraded suspension bushes, and no binding calipers or worn brake discs, yet an Audi Q5 of this age can conceal minor fatigue. Check coil springs for cracks, scrutinise subframe and sills for rust, and measure brake disc thickness and pad depth. Given the expired test, a full mechanical appraisal is essential prior to road use.
