Generation guide Audi Q5 8R (2008-2017): known problems and buying guide
An average used SUV when serviced, but check the S tronic, petrol oil use and the timing chain first, and ask for recall proof on every car.

Issue	Affects	Typical km	Repair cost	Source
Panoramic roof water leaks	Panoramic roof, 2011 on	Not stated	No confirmed price	Generation guide
Front hub bearings and arms	All, hub bearings first	20,000-30,000 km before 2012, 70,000-90,000 km after	No confirmed price	Generation guide

Look for water in the footwell and under the headliner, and check the roof drains. Water in the headliner can corrode the curtain airbag cylinder.
On a test drive, listen for a hum from the front wheels and feel for vague steering over bumps. A creaking front end can mean worn ball joints.
Check every recall by VIN before you buy. The UK recall list filters by model year, not by VIN.
