2023 Audi Q5 S Line 40 TDI Mhev Quat S-A 2.0L Diesel · RF72 NFN

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-12-30, with no defects recorded at 28,261 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring faults or structural concerns flagged in the latest test. This clean result suggests the owner has maintained the car to a standard that meets current UK roadworthiness requirements, and there is no evidence of escalating mechanical or safety issues in the most recent inspection cycle. Mileage progression aligns closely with the vehicle’s age — approximately 9,420 miles per year — which is typical for a three-year-old SUV. The recorded mileage of 28,261 miles at the December 2025 test indicates consistent, moderate usage without signs of rapid accumulation or long-term storage. There are no gaps in the MOT history, and the absence of earlier records does not raise red flags; the data presented is clean and uninterrupted, supporting the impression of regular, responsible ownership. Despite the clean MOT, a buyer should inspect the suspension components closely, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points on Q5 models and may show early signs of fatigue even without fault codes. Brake systems should also be verified — while no binding calipers were recorded in the latest test, the rear brakes have historically shown minor wear in similar models, and a visual check for pad thickness and disc flatness is advisable. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity, especially around the rear subframe and wheel arches, should be examined for corrosion or stress cracks, as these areas can develop slowly and may not yet trigger MOT failure. The vehicle’s current MOT status reflects competent upkeep, but the absence of prior records means there is no historical context for how the car was maintained before December 2025. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the areas most prone to wear in this model — suspension, brakes, and underbody corrosion — to confirm that the recent pass is not masking underlying issues that may emerge soon. The mileage is reasonable, but the buyer should treat the car as a three-year-old with moderate use, not as a low-mileage example, and budget for routine maintenance in the coming year.
