2010 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · GF60 KZJ

The most recent MOT, conducted on 16 May 2025 at 96,317 miles, passed cleanly after an initial failure for ineffective front wipers, a minor consumable issue promptly rectified. The maintenance trend over the preceding three years is broadly stable. Tyre wear advisories appear consistently but were addressed each year, suggesting the owner replaces tyres on time rather than neglecting them. Structural and mechanical advisories, notably rear sub-frame corrosion and front brake disc wear, have persisted since at least April 2022, indicating these are known, monitored conditions rather than sudden defects. No new major faults have emerged recently. The vehicle has covered approximately 6,020 miles per year over its sixteen-year life, which is typical for an Audi A5 of this era. Mileage accumulation has been steady, rising from 89,659 miles in April 2022 to 96,317 miles by May 2025, with no long gaps or sudden spikes in usage. The record shows consistent annual testing, and the mileage progression aligns with regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high mileage. There are no anomalies suggesting odometer tampering or extended periods off the road. A buyer should inspect the rear sub-frame corrosion closely, as it was flagged in both April 2022 and April 2024 as corroded but not seriously weakened. The condition may have progressed since the last test, particularly if the car has been used in winter conditions or salted roads. Front brake discs have shown wear, pitting, or scoring in multiple tests since 2022, so checking disc thickness and condition is advisable. Both front constant velocity joint boots were noted as severely deteriorated in April 2024; if these were replaced, request evidence, as failure to do so risks joint contamination and costly drivetrain repair. Suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in April 2022, and while no repeat advisory appeared in later tests, a physical check for play or deterioration remains prudent given the vehicle’s age. Tyre wear patterns, particularly inner edge wear noted repeatedly on the front and rear, suggest possible alignment or suspension geometry issues that should be verified with a four-wheel alignment check. The windscreen damage noted in 2023 and 2024 remains a visual inspection point to confirm it has not spread or begun to affect the driver’s line of sight.
