2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · BJ67 UFP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT trend is clearly deteriorating rather than stable or improving. This conclusion is drawn from the most recent test on 2025-09-16, which passed at 101,382 miles, followed by two subsequent tests in September 2024 and September 2023. The gap between these three tests indicates that maintenance was not being kept up to date, leading to progressive wear of critical components. The first MOT at 52,000 miles in September 2023 was the only one where the engine and exhaust emissions were tested, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven without an annual check-up since then. The mileage accumulation is significant, with the vehicle averaging approximately 11,265 miles per year. This rate is consistent with a typical 2017 model's age, but it is not consistent with a low-mileage vehicle. The rapid increase in miles since the September 2023 test suggests that the owner likely maintained a high mileage allowance and did not perform regular servicing. This lack of proactive maintenance has accelerated the degradation of the drivetrain, particularly the suspension and brakes, which are the most frequently cited issues in the history. Given the recurring faults, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks. The history reveals severe wear on the suspension components, including worn bushings in both front and rear lower shock absorbers and inner bush deterioration on the upper suspension arm. The brakes have also suffered from thin pads in both front and rear, indicating potential failure points. Additionally, the rear tyres show wear on the inner edges and a cut in the rear inner tyre tread, which could compromise the tyre's grip and longevity. These findings confirm that the vehicle is in a state of serious risk, requiring immediate professional assessment to determine if structural damage exists or if minor wear is merely consumable.
