2015 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · YP65 GVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to wear-related defects. The most recent test in July 2025 at 138,741 miles identified multiple advisories regarding the front suspension. The tester flagged worn nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes, alongside a worn nearside upper anti-roll bar linkage. While these issues did not result in a failure, they indicate that the suspension components are reaching the end of their operational life under heavy use. The mileage history reveals a significant acceleration in vehicle usage. Between July 2022 (41,453 miles) and July 2025 (138,741 miles), the car covered over 97,000 miles in just three years, far exceeding the annual average of approximately 12,600 miles. Prior to 2022, the vehicle saw much lower usage, covering only 3,400 miles between late 2021 and mid-2022. This recent high-mileage phase places extreme stress on the drivetrain, bushings, and rubber components, explaining the sudden appearance of mechanical wear in the latest MOT record. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and bushings. The recorded wear on the control arms and anti-roll bar links will likely require replacement soon to prevent developing knocking noises or degraded handling precision. Given the rapid increase in annual mileage, it is also essential to check the condition of the shock absorbers for leaks and to inspect the thickness of the brake discs and pads. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or brake failures in the history, but the high mileage suggests that deeper mechanical components not covered by the MOT may be nearing fatigue.
