2022 Audi SQ5 TDI Mhev Quattro Auto 3.0L Diesel · SP72 UJR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on September 1, 2025. The maintenance trend shows an immediate resolution of specific mechanical faults identified just four miles prior on the same day. While the initial test at 22,278 miles revealed significant issues with the front braking system, the subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the car up to legal standards. At 22,282 miles over four years, the SQ5 reflects a low mileage profile, averaging approximately 5,570 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to average examples. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes experience surface corrosion on brake discs if the car sits stationary for extended periods. The narrow four-mile gap between the failure and the pass suggests that the faults were rectified immediately upon discovery rather than being ignored or indicating a lack of long-term neglect. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking assembly. The previous failure flagged both the nearside and offside front brake discs for being pitted or scored, alongside excessive fluctuation in the nearside front brake. These symptoms often point to warped rotors or heat-damaged disc surfaces. You must verify that the discs and pads were replaced with high-quality components and check for any remaining judder under heavy braking. Given the low mileage, also inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, which can occur on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
