2007 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · KP57 BFK

This 2007 Audi A5 passed its most recent MOT in September 2022 with 207,937 miles, but that test is now nearly four years old. With no recorded test since, you must verify whether the car has been used or stored during that gap. The recurring mechanical pattern centres on suspension wear. The 2022 test noted a misting rear shock absorber and worn front lower suspension arm bushes. Earlier tests flagged only consumables like tyres and brake pads, so the shift to structural suspension issues is a clear warning that components are ageing with the mileage. The condition trend appears to be worsening slowly. The car has never failed an MOT, but advisories have progressed from routine wear items to load-bearing suspension parts. Without a recent test, you have no way to know how far that deterioration has advanced. The mileage is roughly typical at about 10,944 miles per year. This suggests steady, regular use rather than abuse or prolonged standing.
