2010 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · BA55 AAX

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2025 where the tester flagged binding rear brakes and a worn offside rear tyre close to legal limits. This indicates that the vehicle has not undergone the necessary maintenance to restore its performance, and the trend of failures is currently worsening rather than stable or improving. The failure in March 2025 is the most recent entry, suggesting that the previous owners may have neglected routine checks, leading to a cumulative loss of safety and reliability. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced significant acceleration over its age, accumulating approximately 16 years of recorded driving with a total of 116,354 miles. This rate of mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a 2010 model, but the sheer volume of miles suggests that the vehicle has been driven for an extended period, which can accelerate wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts. The absence of a specific gap in mileage between the 2025 and 2024 tests means that the vehicle has not been slowed down significantly since the last assessment, which is a critical factor in determining the risk of future breakdowns. Given the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The binding brakes and worn offside rear tyre suggest that the suspension and braking systems are in poor condition, which could lead to a sudden failure if the vehicle is driven under load. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak and worn front tyres indicate that the drivetrain and suspension have not been properly inspected, which could lead to further structural degradation. The buyer should verify the integrity of the suspension bushings, check for corrosion on the exhaust system, and test the front and rear tyres for wear before proceeding with a purchase.
