2016 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · OV16 EYO

The 31 July 2025 MOT at 56,786 miles passed, confirming the car is currently road‑worthy. A day earlier the same test recorded a failure for nearside and offside front tyre tread falling below the 1.6 mm legal limit, indicating a minor regression in tyre condition. Apart from that isolated defect, the record shows no recurring mechanical failures, suggesting a generally stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 27,405 miles on 30 August 2022 to 56,786 miles on 31 July 2025, an increase of roughly 29,400 miles in three years – about 9,800 miles per annum during that period. Across the ten‑year life of the vehicle the average is only 5,679 miles per year, which points to relatively light overall usage, possibly interspersed with periods of low activity. The MOT entries are spaced roughly annually and contain no gaps, indicating regular testing and consistent record‑keeping. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front tyres. Verify that tread depth exceeds the 1.6 mm threshold on both sides and inspect for uneven wear that could signal alignment or suspension issues. The 2023‑08‑25 advisory about the offside front upper suspension arm pin or bush being worn, though not yet causing excessive movement, warrants a visual check of the front suspension bushes and a test for any play in the steering geometry. While no brake or structural defects appear in the MOT history, a thorough examination of brake discs, calipers and pads remains prudent, as does a visual survey for corrosion on the chassis and under‑body panels.
