Our Verdict
This is a well-maintained 2016 Audi Q5 diesel with a clean MOT pass record across the last five years, making it a sensible used buy. The only notable points are routine tyre wear on the rear axle, which is easily addressed and should not put you off.
When viewing this Q5, request the full service history to confirm the 2.0 TDI engine has been serviced on schedule, as diesel models benefit from regular oil and filter changes. Use the recent rear tyre wear advisories from the June 2026 MOT as a negotiation point — budget around £200-£300 for a pair of rear tyres if the seller has not replaced them. Given the clean MOT record, a standard used car inspection and a vehicle history check for finance or accident damage should be sufficient before purchase.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Q5 typically returns strong fuel economy for a mid-size SUV, though exact figures depend on driving style; older diesel models often achieve 45-50 mpg on mixed roads. Road tax for a 2016 diesel SUV of this size will be in a higher band, likely £200-£300 per year, and insurance group ratings for the Q5 are mid-to-high, so expect premiums above a typical family hatchback. Routine maintenance such as servicing and consumables should cost £400-£600 annually excluding tyres, with diesel-specific items like DPF checks adding minor cost if mainly used on short trips.
The MOT history shows recurring rear tyre edge wear, flagged in both 2022 and 2026, so physically check the rear tyres for uneven wear that could indicate alignment or suspension issues. In the 2022 test, child seats prevented full inspection of the rear adult belts — verify the rear seatbelts operate smoothly and are undamaged with no seats obstructing them. As no aggregate reliability data is available for this model, a professional inspection of the 2.0 TDI engine, gearbox, and suspension is wise given the vehicle's age and 71,664 miles.
The vehicle, a blue 1968cc diesel Audi Q5 first registered in September 2016, has covered 71,664 miles as of its most recent MOT in June 2026. Its MOT history shows four consecutive passes with no defects recorded between 2023 and 2025, and only minor tyre wear advisories in 2022 and 2026. With no failures and steady annual mileage of roughly 6,000-7,000 miles, the condition appears above average for a ten-year-old SUV.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Audi Q5, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's history.
