2019 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · EF19 EXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear downward trajectory regarding consumable upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 123,004 miles, the tester flagged rear tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven wear on both edges. This follows a pattern established in March 2025 where both front tyres were also noted for being worn and showing signs of perishing. The recurrence of these issues suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive replacement as the vehicle ages. The mileage profile is high for a seven-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 17,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant acceleration in usage between February 2022 and March 2024, where the car covered over 35,000 miles in two years. Since the March 2024 test at 87,007 miles, the vehicle has added another 36,000 miles. This consistent high-mileage operation places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the repeated edge wear on tyres across 2025 and 2026 indicates potential geometry issues or worn suspension components. The TPMS light noted in 2024 requires verification to ensure a sensor is not failing or masking a slow leak. Given the high annual mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs and calipers for thinning or binding is vital, as the history shows the owner tends to address items only when they reach a failure threshold.
