2014 Audi A5 1.8L Petrol · DA14 LJF

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 21 October 2025 at 166,300 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed issues before they resulted in MOT failures. The absence of advisories across multiple tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained in good condition. The mileage profile reflects significant usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,800 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 103,272 miles and October 2025 at 166,300 miles, the car covered 63,028 miles in three years. This consistent accumulation suggests long-distance motorway driving, which often places less strain on the clutch and brakes than short-burst city trips, though it puts high linear wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and exhaust components. Given the high cumulative mileage, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to high-mileage fatigue. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, control arm ball, and coil springs, as these often degrade after 150,000 miles. Attention should also be paid to any potential oil leaks around the engine seals and the condition of the turbocharger, if applicable. While the MOT history is clean, the sheer volume of travel means that consumables like brake discs and shock absorbers are likely nearing the end of their service life.
