Audi Q5 S Line + TDI Quattro (2014)
2014 Audi Q5 S Line + TDI Quattro
CarHunch analysed 147 real MOT records for the 2014 Audi Q5 S Line + TDI Quattro. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Audi Q5 S Line TDI Quattro matches the UK average first-time pass rate at 80.4%, and crucially, none of the 147 vehicles analysed have ever presented a dangerous defect—a genuinely reassuring safety record. The diesel engine proves entirely reliable in this cohort, with no petrol variant to compare against.
At nearly 97,000 miles on average, these Q5s show typical mileage for their age, yet they're averaging less than half a failure per vehicle across the entire MOT history—remarkably low for a nine-year-old premium SUV. The complete absence of advisories is unusual and suggests owners are staying on top of maintenance; if you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the turbo and DSG gearbox, as those aren't flagged here but are known Audi weak points worth peace of mind on.
What to check before buying a 2014 Audi Q5 S Line + TDI Quattro
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.
