2009 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · KT59 VOV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs of worn components. The most recent test in April 2025 at 192,861 miles identified worn, pitted, or scored brake discs on both the front and rear axles. While this defect did not result in a failure, it indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life, moving away from the clean records seen in the preceding years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,345 miles per year. Between February 2021 and April 2025, the car covered 19,028 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 4,700 miles annually during that specific period. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows an increase of 3,472 miles, which aligns with the historical annual average and suggests the vehicle is being used regularly rather than sitting. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly, as the pitting on the discs suggests potential corrosion or prolonged use without adequate replacement. The advisory from May 2024 regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified. Given the high mileage of nearly 200,000 miles, a close check of the coil springs, arms, and bushings is essential, as these components often suffer significant fatigue at this stage regardless of a clean MOT history.
