2014 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · GU64 FZN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of deferred attention regarding wear components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 149,582 miles passed, it introduced new advisories for both upper suspension arm bushes and a worn nearside front tyre. This follows a previous failure in September 2022 where lower suspension arm bushes were excessively worn, indicating that the owner is only addressing suspension faults once they reach a failure threshold. At 149,582 miles over twelve years, this Audi has averaged approximately 12,400 miles per year, which is significantly higher than the national average for its age. The data shows consistent annual use, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between December 2023 and March 2026. This high-frequency usage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with tyre wear and persistent oil leaks noted across the 2022 and 2025 tests. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the record shows recurring issues with both upper and lower arm bushes. The presence of an oil leak noted in February 2025 at 148,343 miles requires a close look at the undertray to determine if the leak is weeping or an active drip. Furthermore, the consistent history of tyres being worn to the legal limit or suffering structural damage suggests a reactive rather than preventative approach, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining rubber components and alignment before purchase.
