2022 Audi Q5 Sport 45 TFSI MHEV Quat S A

CarHunch analysed 381 real MOT records for the 2022 Audi Q5 Sport 45 TFSI MHEV Quat S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Q5 is a genuinely reliable proposition—92.2% of cars pass first time, well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and only 5.2% have ever encountered dangerous defects, which is reassuringly low. The hybrid petrol engine performs identically across the tiny sample, so fuel type isn't a differentiator here.

At 26,381 miles average for a 2022 model, these cars are running lightly, and that shows in the numbers: just 0.11 failures per vehicle and a modest 0.7 advisories suggests owners are encountering very few issues. Before you buy, ask the seller for full service history and confirm any advisory work flagged by the MOT has been addressed, since these cars rarely fail—when they do, it often points to deferred maintenance rather than mechanical fault.

What to check before buying a 2022 Audi Q5 Sport 45 TFSI 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.
