2008 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · RJ58 PPF

The most critical concern is that this vehicle has no recorded MOT since January 2023. Given today's date, the car is significantly overdue for its annual test, meaning its current roadworthiness is unknown and undocumented for over three years. The available history shows a gradual decline in the condition of the chassis and suspension. Recent entries highlight a slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, while previous years saw a corroded offside rear coil spring. There is also evidence of uneven tyre wear on the outer edges of the front tyres from 2020, which often points to underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues. The mileage of 120,349 miles is typical for an 18-year-old vehicle. This suggests a steady pattern of use rather than periods of standing or excessive hard use, but it means the car has reached a stage where wear on consumables, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components is expected. The overall trend is worsening, moving from engine management and tyre issues to structural corrosion and suspension wear. The lack of recent testing suggests the vehicle may have been dormant or neglected in recent years. A buyer must first verify why the vehicle has not been MOT tested since 2023.
