2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · BO53 JUS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following its most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 69,125 miles. While the car passed, the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding consumable wear and suspension components. The November 2025 report flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Crucially, the tester also identified wear in both the nearside and offside front upper suspension arm pins or bushes. This indicates that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, mechanical degradation is beginning to manifest in the chassis components. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,681 miles per year, reaching 69,125 miles by late 2025. The records show steady progression from 38,279 miles in May 2022 to 52,718 miles in May 2023, and then to 60,317 miles in November 2024. This steady interval suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The lack of significant mileage gaps indicates the vehicle has likely been in consistent service throughout the recorded period. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The recurring mention of worn suspension arm bushes in the latest test suggests that these components may require replacement soon to maintain handling precision. The history also shows a pattern of tyre management issues, with front tyres flagged in May 2024 and rear tyres flagged in November 2025. This suggests the previous owner may be running consumables close to their legal limits. The brake history shows thin pads were noted during the May 2022 test at 38,279 miles. Although no brake defects appeared in the subsequent 2023 or 2024 tests, the recent suspension advisories warrant a thorough check of the steering and suspension geometry. Ensuring the new tyres are fitted with correct alignment will be necessary to prevent the edge wear noted in the most recent inspection.
