2022 Audi Q5 SLN ED1 45TFSI Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Petrol · T3 EAU

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, as evidenced by the most recent MOT passed on 18 September 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This lack of flagged issues across its testing history suggests a stable mechanical profile regarding the structural integrity, lighting, and emissions systems required for a pass. Without any recorded failures or recurring advisories for components such as suspension bushes, brake pipes, or corrosion, the MOT history presents a singular, uninterrupted period of compliance. The vehicle has covered 32,700 miles over approximately four years, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 8,175 miles. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a premium SUV of this age. Mechanically, this level of usage implies that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage wear on drivetrain components or suspension linkages, it has also not been sitting stationary for extended periods, which can often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. Given the absence of any specific defects or advisories in the DVSA records, there are no highlighted areas of concern such as oil misting, brake binding, or subframe degradation to investigate. On a test drive, the focus should remain on verifying the smoothness of the mild-hybrid electric (MHEV) system integration and ensuring there are no unexpected noises from the suspension or steering assembly that might have occurred between test intervals. Listen for any knocks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces and check for any pulling to one side under braking to confirm the absence of any unrecorded caliper or disc issues. The lack of recorded advisories means there is no documented evidence of wear on consumables like brake pads, discs, or tyres. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the condition of these items and check for any uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues. While the MOT history is clear, the physical inspection should still confirm that the vehicle operates without any vibration through the steering wheel or pedal judder, ensuring the mechanical state aligns with the clean regulatory record.
