2010 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · GV10 BYC

The most recent MOT from January 2026 shows the vehicle passed, but only after failing due to worn brake pads and discs. There are ongoing advisories for the offside front brake disc and front pads that remain unresolved. A clear and recurring pattern of brake wear and corrosion is evident across the last three years. The vehicle has consistently struggled with thinning pads and pitted or worn discs on both the front and rear axles. This trend appears to be worsening, as brake issues have transitioned from minor advisories in 2024 to a failure in 2026. The mileage of 101,848 over 16 years is typical for its age. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing or excessive hard wear, though the repeated brake corrosion and wear indicate that consumables are reaching the end of their service life. A buyer should first inspect the condition of all four brake discs for pitting and corrosion. Verify if the front brake pads and offside front disc have been replaced since the January 2026 test, as these were noted as worn upon passing.
