Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this Q5, prioritize verifying the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been serviced at the correct intervals, as MOT tests do not confirm mechanical maintenance. Specifically, check if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and brake pads, as these are wear-and-tear items that may be due for replacement despite the clean MOT record. Ensure all electronic functions within the cabin are operational, as these are not always captured in a standard MOT test.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Q5 offers a balance of torque and fuel efficiency suitable for longer commutes. However, buyers should check the specific Euro emissions standard for this 2015 model to determine if it is subject to ULEZ or other Clean Air Zone charges in UK cities.
Insurance groups for the Q5 are typically mid-to-high, and maintenance costs for Audi's premium parts can be higher than budget brands. Expect annual costs to be influenced by the diesel fuel price and the vehicle's tax band based on its 2015 CO2 emissions.
Pay close attention to the suspension, specifically the coil springs, as these are the most common failure point for this model according to aggregate data for over 100,000 vehicles. Check for any signs of sagging or uneven tyre wear that could indicate a failing spring.
Inspect the white paintwork for stone chips or corrosion, and examine the interior wear on the driver's seat and steering wheel to ensure it aligns with the 85,487 recorded miles. While the 2023 MOT failure was resolved within one mile, it is worth confirming the nature of that failure with the seller.
This 2015 white Audi Q5 2.0L diesel has recorded 85,487 miles as of April 2025, which is below the average for its age. The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, including a same-day pass in 2023 and no defects recorded in 2024 or 2025. It represents a stable option within the Q5 range based on its recorded test outcomes.
With an average MOT pass rate of 87.1% across 103,421 vehicles, the Q5 demonstrates a generally reliable track record.
