2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · GF67 AWC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 82,021 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of neglect in 2023. While the latest test indicates the car is currently clean, the historical failure in September 2023 highlights that critical safety items were only addressed once they reached points of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,113 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 43,249 miles and the 2023 test at 56,402 miles, the car covered 13,153 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The subsequent 25,619 miles covered between September 2023 and August 2025 represents a higher annual mileage profile, which explains the accelerated wear on consumable components rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres. The 2023 failure at 56,402 miles revealed thin front brake pads and low rear pads, alongside an offside rear tyre worn to the edge. This suggests the previous owner deferred routine maintenance. In-person inspection should verify the state of the brake discs for uneven wear or glazing and check that all four tyres have uniform tread depth, as the record indicates a history of allowing these components to reach legal minimums. The 2024 advisory noted an excessively tinted window, which should be checked for legal compliance regarding visibility and safety. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control arms is also advisable, as these components often degrade around the 80,000-mile mark. The lack of structural corrosion notes in the history is a positive indicator for the integrity of the chassis.
