2013 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · R2 JDP

The 2013 Audi Q5 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 15 September 2025 at 68,183 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any major mechanical or structural failures during official inspections. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the MOT record implies that previous owners adhered to basic maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs beyond the scope of the test. The recorded mileage of 68,183 miles over 13 years—approximately 5,245 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The most recent mileage jump between tests was 6,754 miles in a year (from 61,429 to 68,183), which is still modest compared to average annual mileage for similar vehicles. There are no prolonged gaps between MOTs, and the regular intervals suggest the car was either stored or driven sparingly, potentially preserving some components longer than average. However, low mileage does not guarantee absence of wear—critical elements like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may still require inspection. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle and bushings, as these are common wear points in Audi Q5 models of this era. The brakes, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for signs of rust or bodywork damage, as low mileage does not preclude environmental degradation. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be verified for leaks or corrosion, as these are often overlooked in lightly used vehicles.
