2019 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · RK19 RKO

The 2019 Audi Q5 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 6 December 2025 at 51,029 miles with zero defects recorded. That result marks a clear turnaround from the failed test just hours earlier on 20 February 2025 at 48,583 miles, when both front tyres were illegal on tread depth. The owner addressed that defect immediately, and the subsequent tests in February and December 2025 both passed without advisories, suggesting attentive remedial work rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between 17 May 2023 at 43,102 miles and 24 May 2024 at 46,764 miles, the car covered roughly 3,662 miles in twelve months. The following year, from 24 May 2024 to 20 February 2025 at 48,586 miles, saw about 1,822 miles added, indicating lighter use or a period of reduced driving. The gap from February 2025 to December 2025 at 51,029 miles accounts for approximately 2,443 miles, which is reasonable. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or rapid accumulation spikes that would raise concern over rolled-back odometers or prolonged standing. The advisory history flags two recurring areas worth inspecting in person. Brake pads have drawn attention across multiple tests: rear inner pads were low on 17 May 2023 at 43,102 miles, and a general brake pad wear advisory appeared on 24 May 2024 at 46,764 miles. A buyer should examine the condition of both front and rear brake pads and discs, checking for uneven wear that could point to binding calipers or seized slide pins. The February 2025 failure on both front tyres, with one below limit on the outer edge and the other on the inner edge, hints at potential wheel misalignment or suspension geometry issues such as worn tracking or damaged suspension bushes. A four-wheel alignment check and a close look at the inner sidewalls and suspension components, including front lower arms and anti-roll bar links, would be prudent. The windscreen advisory from May 2023 for damage outside the driver's swept area appears to have been tolerated rather than repaired, so inspect the screen for any crack propagation that may now impair vision. Overall, the record reflects a vehicle that has been maintained to a reasonable standard, but the tyre and brake wear patterns warrant a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.
