2021 Audi Q5 S LN ED1 40TDI Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Diesel · WJ71 AEB

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an inconsistent trend, moving from a clean pass in September 2024 to a failure in December 2025, followed by a pass on the subsequent day. While the most recent test on 17 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the failure immediately preceding it on 16 December 2025 indicates a mechanical or safety issue required rectification just prior to the current certificate being issued. The recorded mileage of 38,456 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,691 miles per year. The MOT data is relatively sparse, covering only three tests since the vehicle's inception. The gap between the September 2024 test and the December 2025 tests suggests the vehicle may have been used intermittently or sat stationary for periods, though the mileage accumulation itself remains within typical parameters for a five-year-old vehicle. Because the 2025 failure recorded no specific defect details in this summary, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what caused the initial rejection. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and check the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of premature wear. Given the sudden failure and immediate pass, verifying the quality of any recent repairs to the drivetrain or emissions systems is a prudent step. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
