2017 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · OY17 AFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clean record in its most recent testing cycles. The latest MOT conducted in October 2025 at 84,050 miles resulted in no defects, following another clean pass in June 2025. This trend indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed, and the vehicle currently maintains a standard of upkeep that meets regulatory requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for its age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. There is a notable period of increased usage between June 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in twelve months. Since then, the usage has slowed, with roughly 4,700 miles recorded between the last two tests. The overall history suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals and braking components. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension components, given the failure in February 2023 due to fractured fractures on both rear coil springs at 47,712 miles. While these were rectified, the simultaneous failure of both sides often indicates heavy loading or significant road impacts over time. The 2024 test also flagged worn front and rear brake discs. Although these did not cause a failure, a physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers to ensure they are not nearing another expensive replacement cycle. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre wear, specifically in 2020 and 2022 where tyres were found near the legal limit with worn edges. This suggests a potential history of alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be checked during a test drive. Because there are no records of structural corrosion or exhaust failures in the data, the primary focus should remain on the wear-related consumables and the integrity of the suspension geometry to ensure the vehicle remains stable and economical.
