Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Audi Q5 Vor 45 TFSI MHEV Quat S A?

This 2022 Q5 hybrid is a reliably built car, passing its MOT on the first attempt 93.7% of the time—well ahead of the UK average of 80%. With only 3.2% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, it's a safe bet mechanically.

At roughly 26,000 miles on the clock, these are low-mileage examples for their age, which partly explains the strong pass rate; the average fails just 0.08 times per test and racks up only 0.4 advisories, suggesting few wear items have yet become problematic. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection is still wise to catch any hybrid-system quirks before they become costly, but overall these cars are holding up well.
