2018 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · BJ68 AAK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. Since the most recent test in April 2025 at 27,683 miles, the Audi passed with no recorded defects. This consistent string of clean passes over the last three years indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and that no significant mechanical or structural issues have emerged during the annual DVSA inspection process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,460 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2025, the car covered only 15,082 miles, suggesting short-distance commuting or long periods of being remaining stationary. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of component degradation due to idleness. The single failure recorded in April 2022 at 12,501 miles was immediately rectified, as the vehicle passed on the same day once the issues were addressed. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage usage patterns. This includes checking the tyre sidewalls for dry rot and cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion or seizing, which often occurs when vehicles sit unused for extended periods. Additionally, the suspension bushes and rubber mounts should be checked for signs of cracking, as age-related perish often impacts these parts more than high mileage does.
