MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Audi Q5 (YR12 PBF) between June 2015 and November 2025.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 21 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a))”.
