2008 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · OV58 OVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass on January 7 2026 at 200,394 miles. This most recent test recorded no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend over the last twelve months. While previous records showed minor wear issues, the absence of advisories in the latest inspection indicates that the current owner is likely addressing mechanical wear items before they escalate into test failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the car covered 9,048 miles, representing a standard steady usage pattern. The gap between the December 2023 test and the January 2025 test shows a slightly higher interval of roughly 13,000 miles. This regular usage generally suggests the vehicle has not sat stagnant, which helps prevent seal failures and component degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. An in-person inspection must focus on the braking system and suspension components due to the high-mileage context. The December 2022 test flagged worn front and rear brake discs, which, while not excessive at the time, indicate the system is nearing the end of its service life. Given the 200,000-mile mark, a buyer should check for thinning pads and any signs of caliper seizing. Additionally, the minor windscreen damage noted in January 2025 should be verified as repaired to ensure the structural integrity of the glass remains intact.
