Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While this Audi A5
Given the high mileage and the specific MOT failures, you should prioritise a thorough inspection of the alloy wheels and tyres. The recurring mention of a 'distorted' nearside rear wheel suggests a potential impact or a persistent alignment issue that may not have been fully rectified. Ensure that any replacements for the fractured rims mentioned in the 2025 failure were of a high standard and not cheap repairs.
Request full service records to confirm the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for the 2.0L diesel engine at this age and mileage. Use the above-average mileage as a primary point for price negotiation, as the vehicle has covered considerably more ground than the typical A5 of this era.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though city driving will see a drop in MPG. As a 2014 model, it will fall into a standard diesel tax bracket, and insurance costs will be moderate, though this depends on the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs for the A5 can be higher than for budget brands, especially as it enters its second decade. Expect to budget for wear-and-tear items such as brake pads and suspension components, both of which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Pay close attention to the wheels and tyres. The MOT history specifically notes a fractured rim and exposed ply/cords on the nearside front in 2025, as well as a distorted nearside rear wheel in both 2024 and 2025. Check for any signs of vibration through the steering wheel during a test drive, which could indicate remaining wheel imbalance or distortion.
Inspect the front lower suspension arms. A failure was recorded in October 2024 regarding a worn ball joint and damaged dust cover on the nearside front. Verify that this was replaced with a quality part. Finally, check the windscreen for the chip noted in 2024 to ensure it has been repaired and is not spreading.
This 2014 white Audi A5 diesel has covered 146,440 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to wheel and tyre integrity, including a fractured rim and exposed tyre cords in 2025. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025, the record indicates repeated issues with the nearside rear wheel being distorted.
The Audi A5 has an average MOT pass rate of 83.9%, with common failure points including tyres and suspension arms, both of which are evident in this specific vehicle's history.
