2016 Audi Q5 S Line Plus TDI Quattr 2.0L Heavy oil · WT16 LCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a recent clean pass in May 2026 at 83,993 miles. While the history shows periods of neglect regarding consumable items, the most recent two years indicate a trend toward better maintenance. The tester recorded no defects during the May 2026 test or the August 2025 test, suggesting that previous issues with lighting and tyre wear have been addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 35,846 miles in August 2019 to the current 83,993 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. A buyer should focus on the lighting systems and tyres, as these have been recurring failure points. The August 2024 failure involved multiple headlamp aim issues and a near-side front tyre with exposed cords, while the August 2025 failure specifically flagged an inoperative headlamp levelling device. Although these were resolved for the latest tests, verifying the correct operation of the headlight leveling motors is a necessary precaution. The history also shows a pattern of running tyres and brake pads close to their legal limits, notably during the July 2020 failure where both front and rear pads were below minimum thickness. This suggests a tendency by previous owners to delay routine consumable replacement. A physical inspection of the current brake disc condition and tyre tread depth across all four corners is advised to ensure the current standard of upkeep is being maintained.
