2014 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · AF64 URG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension-related components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 128,548 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories for worn suspension arm bushes and tyre wear. This marks a shift from the clean record in September 2024, indicating that front-end components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive attention. The recorded mileage of 128,548 miles over twelve years equates to an average annual run of approximately 10,700 miles. This aligns with typical usage for a premium German saloon of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles driven between each annual test from 2021 through 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, though the high cumulative mileage explains the accelerated degradation of rubber-based bushings and braking components seen in the later records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring reports of worn pins and bushes dating back to 2022 and 2025 suggest that the lower control arms and trailing arms are failing. You should check for excessive play in the steering and audible knocks over uneven surfaces, as these worn components affect handling precision and alignment. Additionally, the 2023 advisory for thin inner brake pads and the 2025 warning regarding edge-worn front tyres indicate that the front braking system and wheel alignment require immediate verification to prevent further uneven wear.
