**2013 Audi SQ5 TDI Quattro MY14 | One Owner Since 2014 | Bang & Olufsen | Extensive Preventative Maintenance | QLD Roadworthy Certificate**
Purchased by me from Audi in 2014, this has been my only-owner vehicle ever since. It was never intended to be a short-term ownership vehicle. My plan was always to keep it for many years, which is why I invested heavily in preventative maintenance rather than waiting for components to fail. The philosophy throughout my ownership has always been to repair and maintain the vehicle properly using OEM, genuine Audi and recognised OE supplier components.
Over the years this SQ5 has travelled extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand, proving to be an exceptionally reliable, comfortable and capable touring vehicle. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere in Australia tomorrow.
I own Eurowerx, a European vehicle parts and service specialist, the vehicle has been regularly inspected using VCDS diagnostics and currently presents with no fault codes.
When the engine was removed for the timing chain service, every accessible component was inspected. Rather than replacing only the minimum required parts, any components showing signs of wear were proactively replaced while access was available. It simply made sense to replace ageing wear items while the engine was out rather than paying for the same labour again in the future.

This SQ5 represents an opportunity to purchase an exceptionally well-maintained example where many of the expensive, well-known maintenance items have already been completed. It has been maintained to a standard that reflects long-term ownership rather than preparation for sale, and the comprehensive service history and invoices demonstrate the care and investment that has gone into the vehicle.
The only reason for sale is a change in personal circumstances. A close family member has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, and I'm selling some of my vehicles to help support her family financially. Otherwise, this SQ5 would not be for sale.
