2022 Audi A5 2.9L Petrol · NE11 GOF

This 2022 Audi A5 has a clean MOT record overall, but the most recent test in March 2026 revealed a specific wear pattern that warrants attention before purchase. The vehicle passed both its recorded MOT tests, but the March 2026 inspection flagged that both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This is the only defect noted across the two tests. Edge wear on both rear tyres typically points to either aggressive cornering, under-inflation, or suspension geometry issues—most commonly a combination of alignment problems and tyre pressure not being maintained correctly. The fact that both rear tyres show this pattern suggests a vehicle setup or maintenance issue rather than isolated wear. At roughly 5,762 miles per year, this Audi has covered significantly below-average mileage for its age. Low mileage can reflect careful, light use, but it can also indicate extended periods of standing between drives. Standing storage without proper tyre pressure checks and wheel rotations can accelerate edge wear even at low mileage, as tyres harden and develop flat spots. Given that the vehicle has only 23,048 miles recorded after four years, periods of non-use are a real possibility here. The trend between tests is unclear but not alarming.
