This Q5 S Line 40 TDI is significantly more reliable than average, with a 90.5% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average by over 10 percentage points. Dangerous defects are rare at just 2.4% of vehicles, so structural or safety issues are not a buyer concern here.
At 30,625 miles median for a 2022 model, these cars are running well within normal wear parameters, and the low failure rate of 0.08 per vehicle confirms the diesel engine and drivetrain are holding up well. When you do test-drive one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on the advisory items (averaging 0.6 per car) which typically involve minor wear items rather than serious faults—check brake pad depth and fluid conditions as routine maintenance.
What to check before buying a 2022 Audi Q5 S Line 40 TDI MHEV Quat S A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
