2018 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · MK55 HAH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 71,988 miles passed, it flagged all four tyres for being near the legal limit or sustaining physical damage. This represents a departure from the clean records of 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the owner may have deferred consumable replacements until the MOT inspection interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-duty use, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between March 2022 at 26,310 miles and March 2024 at 50,157 miles, the car covered over 24,000 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The recent jump of nearly 11,000 miles between 2025 and 2026 maintains this steady usage profile, which generally places expected wear on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front braking system, as the 2024 test noted thin pads at 50,157 miles. Given the subsequent 21,000 miles driven, the pads and likely discs are now nearing the end of their service life. The 2026 advisories regarding edge wear on the front tyres also indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require a physical check. The cuts on the rear tyres should be closely examined to ensure they have not compromised the structural integrity of the sidewalls.
