2009 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · T3 ESG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 70,484 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent over the last three years, despite a single failure in April 2025. The fact that the April failure was immediately followed by a pass on the same day suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues rather than allowing them to escalate into mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,146 miles per year. Between January 2023 and April 2024, the car covered only 1,116 miles, indicating periods of very infrequent use. However, usage increased significantly in the following year, with nearly 3,000 miles covered between the annual tests. While low mileage generally preserves the engine and internal drivetrain components, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which is not always reflected in the low mileage figure on the odometer. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension bushings and braking system, as the vehicle's age and low mileage increase the likelihood of perished rubber and seized caliper pistons. Given the long intervals between use, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underbody and subframes is essential, as the MOT only flags surface rust once it reaches a specific structural threshold. Verify the condition of the tyres and fluid levels, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from flat spots or fluid contamination during long periods of standing.
