2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · ON57 LLK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 30 July 2026, with the only recorded advisory being slight service rust under the vehicle. Looking at the broader history since 2019, the maintenance trend appears stable and consistent. The car has successfully passed every annual inspection without any major failures, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition, although the recurrence of minor windscreen damage and tyre wear over the last three years indicates a shift toward more reactive rather than proactive maintenance. With a recorded mileage of 77,021 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,002 miles per year. This level of usage is considered typical for its age and suggests a balanced duty cycle. It avoids the pitfalls of excessive wear associated with high-mileage examples, such as premature drivetrain fatigue or heavy suspension degradation, while also avoiding the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the recurring windscreen damage noted in the MOT history from 2023 through 2025. While these were listed as minors, you should inspect the glass for any deep chips or stress fractures that could compromise the structural integrity of the windscreen. Additionally, the history of worn tyres on both the front and rear axles suggests a need to verify the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns. Uneven wear on the edges of the tyres often points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes, which should be monitored during a test drive for any unusual vibrations or steering drift. Regarding the mechanical underpinnings, the recent mention of service rust requires a physical inspection of the chassis and subframes to ensure the corrosion is purely superficial and not structural. You should also verify the current state of the brake pads, as they were noted as wearing thin in 2021; if there is no evidence of replacement in the service history, they may be due for an immediate change. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension and feel for any shuddering under braking, which would indicate warped brake discs. Finally, ensure the service book is stamped to confirm that calendar-based fluid changes, such as the engine oil and coolant, have been performed regardless of the moderate annual mileage.
