2015 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · CE15 WMM

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward deferred maintenance on wear items. While the car passed its August 2025 test at 76,952 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that were not present in previous years. The appearance of a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush alongside inner edge wear on both front tyres suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where suspension components and alignment geometry require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 60,237 miles and August 2025 at 76,952 miles, the car covered roughly 16,700 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The two-year gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests reflects periods of lower activity, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components despite low overall mileage. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The inner edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2025 often points to excessive camber issues or incorrect alignment caused by worn control arm bushes. Since the tester specifically identified a worn bush on the nearside arm, the buyer should check for play in the steering linkage to prevent further premature tyre destruction. Additionally, the history of thin brake pads recorded in 2023 implies the braking system is subject to regular wear, so a current measurement of the remaining material and pads is necessary to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement.
