2020 Audi Q5 3.0L Diesel · TR57 MCX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 1 June 2026 at 66,807 miles, confirming its roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is stable, though the most recent test highlights the onset of necessary consumable replacement. While the vehicle passed without major failures, the tester identified thinning front brake pads and surface degradation on both front and rear brake discs. These items are not currently at a critical failure stage, but they represent predictable wear that will require financial provision for replacement in the near future. The recorded mileage of 66,807 over six years averages approximately 11,134 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage expectations for a premium SUV. The history shows a consistent pattern of testing, with a notable increase in usage between January 2024 and June 2026, where the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles. The gap between the February 2023 and January 2024 tests suggests moderate annual usage, and the absence of recorded defects in the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates the owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard during that period. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, specifically checking the thickness of the friction material and the extent of the pitting on the discs. The uneven tyre wear noted in the February 2023 test at 32,412 miles suggests a potential history of wheel alignment issues, so a check for irregular tread patterns or suspension bush play is advisable. Given the current mileage, verifying that the brake fluid has been flushed according to the manufacturer schedule is also recommended, as this is often overlooked despite being essential for the longevity of the hydraulic components.
