2014 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · RF14 EDX

The 2025‑09‑23 MOT at 128,785 miles resulted in a pass, yet the repeated 5.3.4 (a) (i) findings on multiple suspension arm pins and bushes show a clear worsening trend that began in the 2024‑09‑26 failure and persisted through 2025. Mileage has risen from 42,743 miles in the 2017‑12‑29 test to 128,785 miles in the 2025‑09‑23 test, an increase of 86,042 miles over eight years, averaging roughly 10,700 miles per year; the most rapid accumulation occurred between 2024‑09‑26 (113,348 miles) and 2025‑09‑23 (128,785 miles), a gain of 15,437 miles in just under a year, while earlier intervals were more modest. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive movement, measure rear brake pad thickness and examine the brake discs for wear, verify tyre condition especially on the rear shoulders, remove the undertrays to assess structural integrity and look for corrosion or previous damage, and confirm that any brake or suspension defects noted in the history have been fully rectified; the recurring suspension wear suggests earlier owners may have allowed components to deteriorate without timely replacement.
