2011 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · ND11 VNW

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a history of passes and minimal defects spanning the last seven years. This trend was confirmed during the inspection on 19 June 2026, which recorded a pass with only minor advisories regarding child seats obstructing the inspection of adult seatbelts. This stability is underscored by several years of entirely clean certificates between 2020 and 2024, indicating an absence of recurring mechanical failures or chronic component wear. The recorded mileage of 81,657 miles is low for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,444 miles per year. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-stress wear typical of long-distance commuting or heavy urban usage. The consistency of the annual testing suggests the vehicle has remained in active use rather than suffering from long-term storage. Inspection should focus on the specific items flagged in the history, specifically the offside rear registration plate lamp which was noted as inoperative in both 2019 and 2025. A full check of all external lighting is recommended to ensure no further electrical faults are present. Additionally, the front windscreen wiper blades were previously flagged as defective, so their current condition and sweep pattern should be verified. Given that the most recent tests were limited by the presence of child seats, it is essential to ensure these are removed to allow a full physical inspection of the rear adult seatbelts. Ensure the belts retract smoothly and lock securely under tension. During a test drive, while the record is clean of suspension or brake defects, a general assessment of the steering and braking response is advised to confirm the current state of the vehicle's roadworthiness.
