2015 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · OW15 NCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 90,618 miles indicates the car passed despite issues with the front tyres. The tester identified a damaged nearside front sidewall and edge wear near the legal limit on both front tyres, suggesting that the previous owner neglected basic tyre maintenance until the MOT inspection forced action. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent and typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle of this class. The car has averaged approximately 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with standard UK usage for private cars. Between October 2022 at 67,590 miles and October 2025 at 90,618 miles, the vehicle covered 23,028 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and seized components despite the low low mileage figure. A buyer must pay close attention to the engine management system following the failure in October 2023 at 75,734 miles. The car failed initially due to an inoperative Mal Malfunction Indicator Lamp, which is a critical failure related to emissions monitoring. While it passed the retest, a diagnostic tool scan is necessary to ensure no hidden fault codes remain that could indicate intermittent engine performance issues. Additionally, the edge wear noted on the front tyres in 2025 warrants a professional alignment check and an inspection for worn suspension bushes or control arms, as these often cause uneven tyre degradation.
