2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · GC17 UCL

The 2026‑02‑20 MOT at 84,252 miles confirms the 2017 Audi A5 remains roadworthy, with no major defects recorded beyond tyre wear. Maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle passed each successive test without developing new faults, though the recurring tyre wear indicates a lack of proactive tyre replacement. The vehicle has accumulated 84,252 miles over nine years, averaging 9,361 miles annually, a rate consistent with normal usage; the intervals between the 2022‑09‑05 test (61,518 miles) and the 2024‑01‑24 test (71,013 miles) span 1.5 years and 9,495 miles, while the 2024‑01‑24 to 2025‑01‑24 interval adds 5,651 miles in a year, and the final 13‑month period to the 2026‑02‑20 test records 7,588 miles, indicating no abnormal mileage accumulation or extended periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes, ball joints and steering linkage for wear that could cause the observed edge‑wear tyre patterns, verify brake caliper operation and disc condition for binding or excessive wear, inspect the chassis and subframe for structural rust, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission standards; the repeated tyre wear warnings suggest that alignment or suspension maintenance may have been neglected, making a detailed physical inspection essential.
