2015 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · R600 AEY

The 2015 Audi Q5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, recorded on 2025-08-06 at 123,083 miles, which resulted in a PASS with no defects. However, the vehicle’s history includes two consecutive failures in 2024-12-09 (120,540 miles) and 2023-12-01 (106,889 miles), both with no recorded defects. These failures suggest potential issues with testing compliance or unresolved minor faults, though the absence of specific defects limits definitive conclusions. The latest test indicates the car is currently compliant, but the prior failures warrant scrutiny to confirm whether underlying problems were addressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,083 miles over 11 years aligns with average annual usage of 11,189 miles, reflecting moderate wear. Notably, the 2024-12-10 MOT at 120,550 miles was a PASS, followed by a failure just one day later at the same mileage. This inconsistency may indicate administrative errors or unrecorded remedial work. The gap between the 2023-12-01 tests (106,889 miles) and the 2024-12-09 failure (120,540 miles) spans 13,651 miles, suggesting potential lapses in maintenance or inspection. The MOT record lacks detailed defect data, making it difficult to assess long-term trends in critical systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, as these components are prone to wear in vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of recorded defects in the failed tests does not eliminate the need for a physical check of brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes, which could exhibit binding or corrosion. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may not surface in MOT records. The vehicle’s recent PASS status is positive, but the prior failures and sparse defect data necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical soundness.
