2018 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · FG18 OHN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 April 2026 at 63,770 miles. While the vehicle maintains a consistent pass record, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of tyre-related advisories. The most recent test flagged the front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, which suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry rather than simple consumable wear. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 29,983 miles in July 2021 to 63,770 miles in April 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. The data provides a reliable chronological view of the car's usage over the last five years. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components. The repeated advisories for tyres being worn on the edges in July 2022, July 2023, and April 2026 indicate a persistent issue. This pattern often points to worn suspension bushes, damaged coil springs, or misaligned camber settings that have not been rectified during previous services. Checking the condition of the control arms and steering rack would be a prudent step. The 1 August 2024 test also noted sidewall cuts on both the nearside and offside front tyres. While these were not deep enough to reach the cords at the time, they highlight a history of driving on rough surfaces or poor road conditions. Given the recent advisory regarding edge wear, a thorough check of the tread depth and a professional four-wheel alignment test are recommended to ensure the vehicle does not require immediate replacement of both tyres and suspension recalibration.
