2023 Audi Q5 S Ln Ed1 40tdi MHEV Quat SA
CarHunch is tracking 1,058 2023 Audi Q5 S Ln Ed1 40tdi MHEV Quat SA vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Audi Q5 is failing its MOT at an alarming rate: just 7.3% pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. With zero dangerous defects recorded across 1,058 vehicles and no recorded failures or advisories on average, something is clearly wrong with how these vehicles are being presented for testing—they're either systematically failing on minor procedural issues or the data collection is incomplete.
At just under 28,000 miles on average, these are very young vehicles with minimal wear, so the extraordinarily low pass rate cannot be explained by age-related deterioration. Before considering this model, you'd want to understand whether the failures are due to specification issues, dealer preparation problems, or genuine mechanical concerns that aren't yet showing up in the advisory data—contact a specialist Audi dealer or independent garage familiar with this generation to investigate what's actually causing the rejections.
We have 1,058 2023 Audi Q5 S Ln Ed1 40tdi MHEV Quat SA vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Audi Q5 S Ln Ed1 40tdi MHEV Quat SA
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.
