2019 Audi Q5 2.0L Diesel · YT69 AOX

The 2019 Audi Q5 presents a stable and improving mechanical trajectory, culminating in a completely clean pass on 21 August 2025 at 72,331 miles with zero defects. Previous minor advisories regarding tyre condition and rear braking components appear to have been addressed, as the most recent test recorded no issues. This shift from advisories to a flawless record suggests the previous owner rectified these faults promptly, indicating diligent upkeep in the vehicle's recent life. Accumulating 72,331 miles over seven years yields an average of roughly 10,333 miles annually, a typical figure for this age. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, jumping from 34,710 miles in August 2022 to 50,871 miles in August 2023, then to 61,091 miles in August 2024, and finally reaching 72,331 miles in August 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation, pointing to regular, steady use rather than prolonged periods of dormancy or excessive long-distance driving. Despite the clean 2025 result, a physical inspection of the rear braking components remains prudent. The tester flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs alongside thinning rear pads in August 2023 at 50,871 miles. Although the vehicle passed without advisories two years later, aggressive pitting and scoring on brake discs can lead to uneven wear or reduced braking efficiency under heavy load. Examine the rear disc surfaces for deep scoring and measure the remaining pad material to ensure they have not degraded beyond safe tolerances since the last test. Tyre condition warrants close scrutiny as well. The August 2024 test at 61,091 miles flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, while the August 2022 test at 34,710 miles noted cracking and perishing on both rear tyres. Repeated tyre advisories across different axles suggest either prolonged standing causing sidewall degradation or misalignment causing edge wear. Inspect the sidewalls for age-related perishing and verify the tread depth across all four tyres, paying particular attention to the nearside front edge wear that previously drew the tester's attention. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be checked, as uneven tyre wear often hints at compromised suspension geometry rather than simple neglect.
