2018 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · RO68 ABZ

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 26 September 2025 at 67,696 miles, but the test recorded two persistent advisories: the offside obligatory mirror was slightly loose and the fitted rear child seat obstructed full inspection of the adult belt. The preceding test on 25 September 2025 had failed primarily because the offside rear fog lamp was not functioning, indicating a recent repair. Earlier records from 2022‑2024 show tyre wear, brake‑pad thinning, a damaged rear reflector and a bumper lamp fault, all of which cleared by the 2024 test. The pattern therefore shows an improving trend after 2023, with only minor, recurring issues remaining. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 9‑10 000 miles per year since 2021, when the car was at 28,212 miles. By September 2022 the reading was 39,452 miles, rising to 48,406 miles in September 2023, 57,742 miles in September 2024 and 67,662 miles in September 2025. This progression matches the expected wear for an eight‑year‑old Audi Q5 and suggests consistent use rather than long periods of storage. The most recent MOT entries are less than ten months old, providing a current snapshot of the vehicle’s condition. A prospective buyer should verify the offside mirror mounting for tightness, ensure the rear child‑seat fitting does not impede belt inspection, and test the rear fog lamp operation. Brake‑pad condition should be inspected for even wear, as the 2023 record noted thin pads that have since been addressed. Tyre tread depth on all four wheels warrants close examination given the historic wear advisories, and the rear bumper lamp area should be checked for corrosion or damage. Finally, a visual scan for rust around the rear suspension mounts and exhaust brackets will confirm structural integrity.
