2023 Audi A5 Sport 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · JB73 NJB

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 13 June 2026 with no defects recorded. However, the history reveals a failure just two months prior on 10 April 2026 due to major cuts in both the nearside and offside rear tyres that reached the ply or cords. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, this sequence indicates a reactive maintenance pattern where critical safety components were only addressed upon official failure rather than through preventative inspection. With a recorded mileage of 20,180 miles over approximately three years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,727 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for this class of vehicle and suggests a balanced duty cycle. Mechanically, this mileage is low enough that primary drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and coil springs should remain in excellent condition, though it is high enough to necessitate a review of the scheduled service intervals to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's requirements. Given the recent tyre failures, a prospective buyer must carefully inspect the current rear tyres to ensure they have been replaced with high-quality rubber that meets the original equipment specifications. Examine the sidewalls for any further signs of curbing or impact damage, as the previous cuts suggest the vehicle may have been subjected to harsh road surfaces or poor parking practices. During a test drive, listen for any unusual humming or vibrations from the rear axle which could indicate uneven tyre wear or alignment issues resulting from the previous damage. As this is a mild hybrid vehicle of this age, attention should be paid to the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and the smoothness of the stop-start transitions. Inspect the brake discs for any significant surface corrosion or lip formation, and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur if the car has spent prolonged periods stationary. Finally, verify that the digital service record is up to date, paying particular attention to calendar-based fluid degradation and the condition of the cabin and engine bay filters to ensure the MHEV system operates at peak efficiency.
