2022 Audi Q5 Sport 40 TDI Mhev Quat S-A 2.0L Diesel · RO71 VDA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred component replacements. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 61,156 miles passed, the tester identified a front suspension arm bush starting to tear and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. These issues follow similar advisories from December 2024 where thin brake pads and further tyre wear were flagged, suggesting a pattern of neglecting consumables until they approach failure. At 61,156 miles over four years, this Audi has averaged approximately 15,300 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for its age. This high mileage puts accelerated stress on the quattro quattro drivetrain and suspension geometry. Between December 2024 and November 2025, the car covered 16,431 miles in just eleven months, indicating heavy annual use that explains the rapid wear on the braking components and suspension bushings noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the arm bush degradation. The recurring outer edge wear on the nearside rear tyre across two consecutive tests suggests a persistent alignment issue or a faulty damper that has not been addressed. Additionally, the brake system should be measured immediately, as they were already near the MOT limit at 44,725 miles and have likely required replacement following the further 16,000 miles driven since then.
