2012 Audi A5 1.7L Diesel · NG61 CVJ

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-29 recorded two instances of front inner tyres worn close to the legal limit, both on the nearside and offside. These defects were classified under 5.2.3 (e), indicating edge wear and near-limit tread depth. No other defects were noted at this inspection, and the vehicle passed. The 2023 MOT identified worn, pitted, or scored front and rear brake discs, but these were not deemed seriously weakened under 1.1.14 (a) (ii). This suggests gradual brake component degradation, though not immediately critical. No other defects were recorded in the 2024 and 2022 MOTs prior to the 2025 inspection. A single failure in October 2022 cited misaligned windscreen washer jets, which was resolved by the time of the 2025 MOT. This indicates a temporary issue rather than a recurring defect. Overall, the MOT history shows a pattern of minor, non-safety-critical issues rather than systemic problems. The vehicle’s mileage of 80,386 miles at 14 years old equates to roughly 5,742 miles per year, which is lower than average.
