2015 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · D1 JSK

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT in November 2025 at 61,115 miles which passed with no defects. This represents an improvement over the 2024 test where the tester flagged thinning rear brake pads. The overall trend suggests that the current owner is addressing identified wear items, resulting in a clean certificate for the most recent inspection. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 61,115 miles averages to approximately 5,500 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The usage pattern appears consistent, with steady intervals of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests since 2018. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading over time, a fact seen in the multiple tyre-related failures between 2019 and 2020. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system and tyre-related components. The history shows a recurring pattern of tyres failing due to uneven wear or structural damage, specifically in 2018, 2019, and 2022. This indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified visually. Additionally, although the 2024 advisory for rear brake pads was resolved, the buyer should inspect the remaining life of the braking system and check for signs of binding calipers or corrosion to ensure the maintenance was performed correctly.
