Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your attention on the suspension and drivetrain. The vehicle failed its 2024 MOT due to a severely deteriorated CV boot and a suspension arm ball joint dust cover; you should verify that these components were replaced rather than patched. Negotiate the price based on the October 2025 advisories, which indicate that both front brake discs are now worn, pitted, or scored.
Carefully review the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1968cc diesel engine. Ensure there is a clear record of oil changes to mitigate the risks associated with higher mileage diesel engines.
The 2.0L diesel engine offers a balance of power and efficiency, though tax bands for 2011 models can be higher than modern equivalents. Insurance groups for the Q5 are generally moderate to high, reflecting its premium positioning and repair costs.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and the complexity of Audi's suspension systems. Given the recorded history of brake and suspension wear, expect a higher annual spend on consumables. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Prioritise an inspection of the front brake discs, as the most recent MOT (October 2025) flagged them as worn and pitted. You should also examine the rear sub-frame for signs of rust or degradation, following the corrosion advisory recorded in October 2023.
Check the front drive shafts and suspension arm ball joints for any new leaks or tears in the boots. These are known weak points for the Q5, as evidenced by both this vehicle's 2024 failure and the aggregate model data showing drive shaft joints as a top failure reason.
This 2011 grey Audi Q5 diesel has recorded 128,046 miles, which aligns closely with the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a failure in 2024 concerning the drive shaft and suspension, alongside persistent advisories regarding brake disc wear and sub-frame corrosion. It represents a typical example of a high-mileage vehicle of this era.
The Audi Q5 has an average MOT pass rate of 87%, with common failure points typically involving the drive shaft joints and suspension arms.
