2008 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · OV58 OTU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026, but the report highlights several concerning advisories that suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance. There is a clear and recurring issue with the front suspension and drivetrain. The front lower suspension arm bushes have been flagged as worn since 2024, and the offside front constant velocity (CV) boot has been described as severely deteriorated for two consecutive years. The fact that these items remain on the advisory list indicates that the owner has not rectified these defects despite being alerted to them. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. In addition to the persistent suspension and CV boot issues, the most recent test has now identified corrosion on the rear sub-frame. While not yet seriously weakened, this marks the beginning of structural degradation that often accelerates if left untreated. The mileage of 134,922 miles over 18 years is typical for a vehicle of this age. This suggests a steady history of use rather than extreme hard wear or long periods of standing, meaning the current defects are likely the result of standard age-related wear and a lack of preventative maintenance. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front drivetrain and suspension.
