2010 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · OV10 EOE

The vehicle currently holds a valid driving licence, but the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of failure and a lack of recent maintenance. The most recent test on 2026-03-06 resulted in a failed test at 117,453 miles, indicating that the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components have degraded significantly since the last inspection. This failure was not caused by a single faulty part but rather a cumulative failure of the vehicle's mechanical system, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped and the vehicle has not been serviced for over two years. The mileage pattern is characterized by a steep acceleration since the initial test on 2026-03-06, where the vehicle was only 117,453 miles, before failing again on 2025-02-01 at 106,457 miles. This rapid increase in recorded mileage since the first test suggests that the vehicle has been driven at speeds and conditions that place high stress on the drivetrain and suspension. The lack of a subsequent test between March 2026 and February 2025 indicates that the vehicle has been in the possession of the owner for over two years without a MOT, which is a significant red flag for mechanical reliability. In summary, the vehicle is roadworthy but carries a history of structural and mechanical risks that require immediate professional assessment. The failure at 117,453 miles and the subsequent failure at 106,457 miles indicate that the vehicle has not been serviced for over two years, leaving the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain vulnerable to future breakdowns. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, as well as the state of the exhaust and brake discs, before proceeding with a purchase.
