2021 Audi Q5 S Line 45 Tfsi Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Petrol · RK71 MSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a transition from a clean record to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 22,736 miles flagged a damaged offside rear lower coil spring mounting and a nail embedded in the tyre. While the vehicle passed despite these entries, the appearance of structural component damage indicates that the car is beginning to show age, moving away from the pristine status seen in the previous year. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,547 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 18,120 miles and the August 2025 test, the car covered 4,616 miles. This consistent, low-usage pattern suggests minimal strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to issues like brake corrosion or seized seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the offside rear suspension to ensure the coil spring mounting has been replaced and that the corrosion has not progressed into the chassis mounting point. The advisory regarding the nail in the tyre suggests a lack of immediate attention to minor consumables, so a thorough check of the remaining tyres for sidew damage or uneven wear is necessary. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as these often suffer on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
