2010 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · RV10 YLP

The most recent MOT from July 2025 shows a pass, but it highlights a recurring issue with the front brake discs. This is not an isolated incident, as the same advisory was noted in both 2024 and 2023. The vehicle's mechanical trend shows a pattern of wear on the braking system and suspension. While the suspension arm bush issue from 2023 did not reappear in recent tests, the persistent mention of worn front brake discs suggests that while they are being monitored, the components are reaching the end of their service life. An oil leak was also noted in early 2022, though it was not flagged in subsequent tests. The mileage of 149,113 over 16 years averages roughly 9,320 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, moderate use rather than extreme high-mileage wear or long periods of sitting idle. This level of usage generally implies a predictable wear pattern on consumables like brakes and suspension components. The overall condition trend appears stable but shows signs of aging. The vehicle is passing its tests, but the repetitive advisories mean you are looking at a car that is entering a phase where maintenance costs for wear-and-tear items may increase.
