AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 124,453 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available five-year record, showing consecutive passes aside from an anomalous failure on 26 June 2023 that listed no defects. The absence of recorded advisories suggests consistent statutory compliance, though the empty failure entry warrants verification from DVSA archives. The Q5 has covered roughly 8,890 miles per year against its fourteen-year life, a typical usage rate for the age. From the 15 June 2022 examination at 111,043 miles to the 9 July 2024 test at 120,749 miles, the odometer advanced 9,706 miles over twenty-five months, reflecting modest annual accumulation. The 2023 entries show two tests on the same date at 117,270 miles, one pass and one fail with no defects, indicating either a retest or data duplication rather than rapid mileage jumps. The record remains sparse but clean, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months between inspections. Despite the lack of flagged defects, a 2012 Audi Q5 at 124,453 miles demands that a buyer physically checks age-related components. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet a buyer should visually inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fourteen years of fatigue. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware also require scrutiny given the elapsed time since the last documented examination. The repeated clean passes imply the prior keeper addressed MOT requirements promptly, but the unexplained failure on 26 June 2023 suggests occasional administrative laxity rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should obtain the full DVSA failure reason to rule out omitted data before completing purchase.
