2017 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · FG67 OFV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 66,672 miles introduced multiple advisories regarding tyre condition and brake surface quality. This marks a departure from the clean records seen between 2021 and 2023, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require immediate attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The car covered 9,358 miles between the August 2024 and September 2025 tests, and 8,302 miles in the preceding year. This steady usage suggests regular driving rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and gaskets. However, the low annual mileage relative to theিয়ে age can sometimes lead to accelerated aging of rubber-based components and brake hardware despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritize the braking system during a physical inspection, as the September 2025 record flagged both front and rear brake discs as pitted or scored. While these did not fail the test, surface pitting indicates significant corrosion or heat damage that likely necessitates replacement alongside new pads. The tyres also present a significant concern; the record shows a nail in the nearside rear, cuts on both front tyres, and edge-wear-approaching the legal limit on the offside rear. The uneven wear noted on the offside rear tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to avoid further tyre degradation.
