CarHunch analysed 108 real MOT records for the 2020 Audi Q5 Sport 40 TDI Quattro S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2020 Audi Q5 is exceptionally reliable by any standard, with a 98.6% first-time pass rate that towers 18.6 percentage points above the UK average—and notably, it has never recorded a single dangerous defect across the 108 vehicles analysed. Diesel reliability in this model is clearly the strength here, as these powertrains deliver the kind of consistency that makes ownership predictable.
At roughly 52,000 miles, these cars are running light for their age and showing almost no failures (0.03 per vehicle) or advisor notes whatsoever, which suggests meticulous maintenance from owners who've invested in a premium package. If you're buying one used, an independent pre-purchase inspection is still prudent practice, but this cohort's track record means you're choosing from among the most bulletproof diesel SUVs on the UK secondhand market.
What to check before buying a 2020 Audi Q5 Sport 40 TDI Quattro 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.
