2019 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · CF68 JWY

A consistent record of clean MOT results over the last three years defines the recent roadworthiness of this vehicle, following a single period in 2022 where tyre-related advisories were noted. Since the 2022 test, which flagged a nail in the nearside rear tyre and a cut to the offside rear tyre, the vehicle has achieved three consecutive passes with no recorded defects, including the most recent pass on 25 October 2025. This trend suggests that the minor consumable issues identified previously were addressed, resulting in a stable testing history through to the current date. The vehicle's mileage of 46,650 miles over its seven-year lifespan represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,664 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-wear thresholds, consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will have undergone several years of standard operational cycles. The lack of significant mileage gaps in the MOT history indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Given the specific advisories recorded in 2022 regarding tyre integrity, a prospective buyer should focus on the current condition of the tyre treads and sidewalls. While these were noted as passing advisories at the time, it is prudent to inspect the tyres for any signs of uneven wear, bulging, or secondary cuts that could indicate alignment issues or impact damage. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration that might suggest a tyre defect or a wheel balance issue, particularly at motorway speeds. Beyond the tyres, the absence of recent advisories regarding suspension or braking components allows for a focused inspection of the vehicle's underside. Although no specific faults were flagged in the 2023, 2024, or 2025 tests, a physical inspection should still look for any signs of weeping from shock absorbers or excessive play in the suspension linkages. On the road, any sudden knocks over bumps or a pulling sensation through the steering wheel should be investigated, as these would indicate wear in the bushings or steering components that may not have been captured during the standard MOT inspection process.
