2017 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · YS67 AEK

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend following recent minor failures. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 92,900 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the previous mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures, the vehicle has consistently returned to a passing standard, suggesting the current owner is reactive to MOT requirements rather than neglecting them. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. There is a notable period of activity between May 2024 at 79,660 miles and December 2024 at 80,151 miles, where the car covered fewer than 500 miles in seven months. This relatively short burst of use coincided with the failure for worn tyres. Since that period, the mileage accumulation has remained steady and predictable, which typically indicates even wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer should inspect the suspension geometry specifically, given the failure of the nearside rear coil spring in June 2023 at 72,739 miles. Fractured springs are common on vehicles of this age, but they can lead to uneven tyre wear if the alignment was not corrected. The December 2024 failure for rear tyres being worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that should be verified. A physical check of the current tyre set for uniform wear is necessary to ensure the previous issues have not recurred.
