2020 Audi Q5 2.0L Petrol · RE70 VGZ

The Audi Q5 presents a clean MOT history over its recent testing cycle, with no defects recorded in any of the four entries spanning November 2023 to November 2025. The most recent test in November 2025 at 62,042 miles passed without advisories, suggesting the vehicle has maintained stable roadworthiness through its last inspection period. The absence of recurring faults or advisories indicates no obvious trend of worsening mechanical issues, and the repeated passes—including the immediate re-test—point to a vehicle that has either been well-maintained or has naturally aged without major component failures. That said, the duplicate entry for November 2025 (one pass, one fail at identical mileage) is unusual and may imply a clerical error or a brief unresolved issue that was swiftly corrected, though neither is reflected in the official record. The Q5’s mileage accumulation of roughly 10,340 miles per year aligns closely with average usage for its age, suggesting consistent but not excessive driving. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests (9,019 miles in 12 months) is slightly below the average, while the 2023–2024 interval (8,743 miles) is similarly modest. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern—no sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity—that might indicate neglect or heavy usage. The data is sparse but unremarkable, with no evidence of rapid wear or prolonged disuse that could mask hidden issues. Given the absence of defects or advisories, a buyer should still verify critical components in person, particularly those prone to wear or failure in this model. Pay close attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—since these can degrade without leaving MOT traces. Check for any signs of binding in the rear brakes, as Audi Q5s have occasionally exhibited caliper or pad wear that isn’t always caught in routine tests. Structural integrity is less of a concern here, but inspect the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to salt or moisture. The exhaust system should also be examined for leaks or rust, as these can develop between tests without triggering a fail. Tyre condition and tread depth are always worth confirming, even if not flagged in the MOT, as uneven wear could signal alignment or suspension issues.
