Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Audi Sq5 TDI MHEV Quattro Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Audi Sq5 TDI MHEV Quattro Auto?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Audi Sq5 TDI MHEV Quattro Auto?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 375 vehicles, the 2022 Audi Sq5 TDI MHEV Quattro Auto has a first-time MOT pass rate of 97.3%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Audi Sq5 TDI MHEV Quattro Auto?

Moderate sample. 375 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Audi SQ5 TDI is proving exceptionally reliable on test, with a first-time pass rate of 94.4%—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 1.6% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, which is reassuringly low. This diesel-only cohort is virtually failure-free, averaging just 0.06 failures per vehicle and 0.6 advisories, suggesting the drivetrain and emissions systems are holding up well.

At 28,730 miles median and 30,818 miles average, these cars are relatively low-mileage for their age, so you're not looking at heavily driven examples yet. If you're buying one, get a full service history check and have any advisories (typically brake pad wear or fluid levels) addressed before purchase, as this model is otherwise showing excellent early-life durability.

The 2022 Audi Sq5 TDI MHEV Quattro Auto passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (97.3% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
