2016 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · WG66 OHA

The 2016 Audi Q5 demonstrates a stable maintenance trajectory overall, culminating in a clean pass on October 16, 2025, at 127,911 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet follows a similarly unblemished pass on March 5, 2024, at 104,646 miles, indicating that recent upkeep has addressed previous mechanical oversights. Earlier tests reveal a recurring pattern of consumable wear rather than deep-seated structural decay, suggesting the vehicle has been kept roadworthy through regular servicing despite heavy usage. Accumulating 127,911 miles over roughly ten years yields an average of approximately 12,791 miles annually, which places this Q5 well above typical domestic mileage brackets for its age. This high-intensity usage is visible in the rapid accumulation phase between March 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered 23,265 miles in just nineteen months. Earlier intervals show consistent long-distance running, maintaining a steady pace of roughly 13,000 to 14,000 miles per year, interspersed with a standard testing cadence except for a COVID-related extension in late 2020. A prospective buyer should direct their physical inspection toward the braking system and tyres, given the historical data. The November 2020 test at 61,374 miles flagged worn front and rear brake pads, dual rear tyre edge wear, and a punctured nearside rear tyre, while subsequent advisories in December 2021 and March 2023 noted thin rear brake pads. These recurring friction material alerts imply a previous owner who ran consumables close to their service limits. Verify the current thickness of the brake discs and pads, check the inner sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns caused by heavy-vehicle geometry loads, and inspect the quattro drivetrain and suspension bushes for premature wear associated with high-mileage motorway and urban driving.
