2019 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · B1 JDE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection history indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. While the car passed its test in October 2025 at 64,325 miles, it had failed just one week prior at 64,293 miles due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a significant rear brake imbalance. The fact that these issues were rectified to achieve a passing grade suggests the owner is reactive to MOT failures rather than addressing wear items based on a proactive service schedule. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for a premium saloon, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered roughly 29,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The jump from 54,020 miles in late 2024 to 64,325 miles in late 2025 maintains this annual trend, suggesting the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity which often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber suspension bushes and braking components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension to ensure the replacement coil spring was fitted correctly and that no other components show signs of fatigue. The 45% imbalance recorded on the rear axle in October 2025 indicates sticking brake calipers or worn sliders pins, which should be checked for uneven pad wear to ensure the braking system remains effective. Additionally, the offside front tyre and nearside rear tyre were noted for surface damage in the most recent test; these should be monitored for structural sidewall failure that could lead to a sudden blowout.
