2021 Audi Q5 S Line 45 Tfsi Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Petrol · SV21 HDR

The 2021 Audi Q5 S Line 45 TFSI holds a clean MOT certificate from 13 August 2025 at 45,922 miles, with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the last two years shows a clear improvement. A fractured nearside rear coil spring and multiple tyre failures in June 2025 were addressed before the August pass, indicating the previous owner corrected serious suspension and safety issues rather than deferring them. The absence of any advisories or failures in the most recent test suggests the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. The mileage progression tells a coherent story. Between the June 2024 pass at 33,772 miles and the June 2025 failure at 44,628 miles, the car covered roughly 10,856 miles in twelve months. That is consistent with the annualised average of around 9,184 miles per year for a vehicle of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record. The 1,010-mile increase between the June 2025 failure and the August 2025 pass at 45,922 miles is entirely plausible as a retest window. The mileage data supports regular, sustained use rather than long periods of dormancy or tampering. A buyer should still inspect the rear suspension carefully. The June 2025 failure flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a worn lower suspension arm bush on the same corner. Even though the August retest passed, the repair quality matters. Have the replacement spring and bush checked for correct specification and proper installation. Uneven rear tyre wear or a subtle lean to one corner would suggest the work was not done to standard. The tyre history also warrants attention. Both the June 2025 and August 2025 tests flagged worn and cracking front tyres, with the June test also noting perishing on the rear pair. The car was on the same 45,922 miles for both August tests, meaning the tyre defects were rectified between the 12th and the 13th. Confirm whether the current tyres are a matching set of correct speed and load ratings. Mismatched or budget replacements would indicate cost-cutting rather than thorough upkeep. Finally, the windscreen washer fault from the first August test was minor but telling. A simple fluid top-up or pump check resolved it, yet it appeared alongside more significant tyre and suspension failures. That combination suggests the car may have been neglected in basic checks before being presented for test. A full underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, would be prudent before purchase.
