2022 Audi A5 S Line 40 TDI Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Diesel · GD22 JNJ

The most recent MOT on 1 September 2025 was recorded as a pass with no defects noted, following an earlier failure on 21 August 2025 where the off‑side front tyre was rejected for a cut that penetrated the ply. The successful re‑test indicates that the tyre defect was remedied promptly, and there are no further recorded failures, suggesting a maintenance pattern that is currently stable after a minor corrective action. At four years old the car has logged 43,165 miles, giving an average annual mileage of roughly 10,800 miles. This figure sits comfortably within the normal usage envelope for a premium executive saloon and does not point to any periods of excessive short‑trip abuse or prolonged storage. The mileage progression appears linear, which implies that wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and suspension bushings is likely to be consistent with the vehicle’s age rather than being accelerated by unusually high mileage spikes. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the condition of all four tyres, confirming that the repaired front tyre shows no lingering side‑wall damage, that tread depth is uniform and above the legal minimum, and that there are no signs of cupping, feathering or uneven wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. While on the road, listen for any thumping or humming that may betray a loose wheel bearing, and feel for any pull or vibration that could betray a mis‑aligned front axle or worn coil springs. A visual inspection of the wheel rims for corrosion or cracks, and a check of the tyre pressure monitoring system, will also help verify that the tyre issue has been fully resolved. Given the vehicle’s 2022 model year, the buyer should also verify the health of age‑sensitive items. A 12‑volt battery approaching four years should be load‑tested to ensure it can sustain a cold‑crank, especially if the car has spent periods idle. Brake discs should be examined for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and pads should have sufficient remaining thickness; any shudder or pulsation under braking would merit further inspection. The service book ought to show timely oil and filter changes, as well as scheduled replacement of the timing belt or chain and associated tensioners if applicable. Finally, inspect the suspension bushings, ball joints and anti‑roll bar links for any cracking or excessive play, and confirm that the coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid have been refreshed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, as fluid degradation can occur even on low‑mileage cars that have been stationary for extended periods.
