Our Verdict
This 2016 Audi Q5 diesel is a reasonable buy if priced fairly, but the 2025 CV boot failure shows a past neglect of drivetrain rubber components. A clean 2026 MOT and sensible mileage soften the concern, though a thorough inspection is still advised.
When viewing SF66AES, ask for proof the January 2025 CV boot failure was properly repaired, as a split constant velocity boot left unchecked can allow dirt into the drive shaft joint and cause costly wear. Confirm a full service history, especially for the diesel engine and haldex/4WD system if fitted, and check that the brake pad advisories from 2024 and 2025 have been addressed with new pads.
As a 1968cc diesel Audi Q5 first registered in December 2016, this vehicle will fall into a later road tax band than pre-2017 cars but still incur a premium diesel surcharge; exact rates depend on CO2 but expect roughly £190-£300 annually. Insurance will likely sit in a mid-to-high group for a premium SUV, and diesel fuel costs remain variable versus petrol.
Inspect the near-side rear drive shaft CV boot closely, even though the 2025 failure was followed by a pass, to ensure the replacement boot is secure and grease is intact with no ingress of dirt. Check the front outer brake pads and rear brake pads noted as wearing thin in 2025 and 2024 respectively, and confirm they have been replaced to avoid binding or reduced braking.
The vehicle is a December 2016-registered black Audi Q5 with a 1968cc diesel engine, currently showing 62,906 miles from its February 2026 MOT. Its history includes one MOT failure in January 2025 for a split near-side rear CV boot, later rectified and passed 19 days later. Minor advisories for brake pads and a front tyre show expected wear for a 9-year-old car, and no aggregate model reliability data is available to broaden the picture.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Audi Q5, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of SF66AES.
