2008 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · OV58 KHF

This 2008 Audi Q5 has an MOT history that shows a clear pattern of recurring mechanical failures, specifically involving suspension and drivetrain components, alongside a tyre issue. The most recent MOT on 6 July 2022 resulted in both a failure and a pass on the same day. It failed due to a nearside rear tyre with exposed ply or cords, a serious safety defect indicating severe wear or damage. It then passed the same day, meaning that specific tyre was presumably replaced. This suggests the vehicle was brought up to a minimum standard for the test rather than being in broadly sound condition. The recurring mechanical pattern centres on the rear suspension and front drivetrain. A fractured offside rear coil spring was found in March 2021, and deteriorated CV boots for both front driveshafts were noted in July 2019. While the fractured spring was an acute failure, the CV boot deterioration points to a gradual wear issue that was not addressed at the time. The repeated failures in these specific areas suggest underlying problems with component longevity or previous repair quality. The overall condition trend does not look clearly improving.
