2014 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · OO02 AHO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 91,728 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that any mechanical or structural issues previously identified were addressed. This follows a clean pass in November 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of upkeep over the last two years of operation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 17,255 miles, representing a steady usage pattern. The gap of 5,996 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a slight increase in annual mileage but confirms the vehicle is being driven regularly enough to prevent issues with age-related degradation of rubber components or fluid seals. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the November 2022 test at 68,477 miles flagged thin front brake linings. While these were likely replaced, a physical check of the remaining pads and the condition of the discs is necessary to ensure no uneven wear or thinning persists. The failure in 2024 due to an offside front inner tyre bulge was an isolated consumable issue, but the immediate re-pass proves the owner is proactive regarding safety-critical defects. There are no signs of recurring mechanical failure. Given the age of the Audi A5, a physical inspection should also focus on suspension bushings and control arms for wear, as the MOT record does not yet flag structural corrosion or suspension play. The history suggests a well-maintained vehicle that responds to testing requirements, but the transition past the 90,000 mile mark warrants a closer look at drivetrain components and fluid leaks.
