2015 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · OV15 LCC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite minor emerging wear. The most recent test conducted on 23 September 2024 at 70,922 miles resulted in a pass but identified a light misting of oil on the offside rear shock absorber. This indicates the beginning of a seal failure which, while not yet at the threshold of immediate failure, suggests the component will require monitoring or eventual replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for an older Audi, averaging approximately 6,450 miles per year. Data shows steady progression from 57,844 miles in October 2021 to 70,922 miles in late 2024. The only significant disruption in history occurred on 7 October 2022 at 62,312 miles due to a structural tear in the nearside front tyre. This failure was rectified immediately to allow a subsequent pass, suggesting the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once identified. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside rear suspension to determine if the oil misting has progressed into a significant leak. Given the age of the vehicle and the relatively low mileage, rubber components such as suspension arm bushings should be checked for cracking or degradation which often occurs regardless of distance driven. The clean records between between 2021 and 2023 suggest the structural integrity and braking system have remained well-maintained without recurring mechanical faults.
