2015 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · OM51 BEC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on October 10, 2025, at 98,282 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its inspections despite occasional re-test failures. While the record shows failures in both October 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on those failure entries suggests minor issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass on subsequent attempts. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 93,063 miles and the October 2024 test at 96,128 miles, the car covered 3,065 miles, followed by an additional 2,154 miles in the year between October 2024 and October 2025. This indicates a steady, moderate driving habit which is generally favourable for the drivetrain and structural components compared to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as these are the areas most likely to show wear on a high-mileage Audi Q5. Given the recurring re-tests without specific defect descriptions, check for worn control arm bushes, leaking shock absorbers, or signs of binding calipers. The chassis should also be inspected for corrosion around the subframe mounting points to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle approaches the 100,000-mile milestone.
