2019 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · AP19 FNF

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 77,958 miles resulted in a pass but introduced an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically sound enough to pass certification, consumable components are now beginning to reach the end of their functional life. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 39,698 miles and January 2026 at 77,958 miles, the car covered nearly 38,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity. The lack of defects between the 2022 and 2025 tests suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that did not suffer from neglected mechanical failures or structural degradation during that mid-life period. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry due to the uneven wear noted on the nearside rear tyre. This pattern often points to worn suspension bushes or a misaligned tracking that requires adjustment to prevent premature tyre failure. Given the mileage approaching 80,000 miles, a thorough check of the brake discs and calipers for thinning or glazing is also warranted, although the record does not specifically flag binding issues or corrosion in previous years.
