2016 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · DF66 FCY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 60,226 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in October 2024. While the car previously struggled with tyre-related safety issues, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests the owner has addressed identified mechanical concerns and maintained the vehicle since then. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its ten-year life. The data shows regular annual testing with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles recorded between tests from 2022 to 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage vehicles, but can sometimes lead to the perishing of rubber-based components like tyres and bushings, as seen in the historical records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and wheel alignment, as the record shows a recurring history of tyre failure. The 2024 failure at 57,113 miles highlighted exposed cords and structural tears on the rear tyres, alongside uneven edge wear on the front tyres. This pattern often indicates previous alignment issues or neglect of basic consumables during periods of low use. Additionally, check the age of the current tyres for cracking or perishing, as the 2023 advisory already flagged early degradation of the rear tyres despite the low mileage.
