2009 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · OY09 WXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in February 2026 at 104,879 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing failures for reduced headlamp intensity, an illegal offside front tyre, and a damaged rear tyre. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurrence of tyre-related failures suggests that the owner only addresses safety consumables once they reach the point of legal failure. At 104,879 miles, this seventeen-year-old Audi has been driven approximately 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for its age. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 4,700 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,100 miles covered between January 2025 and February 2026. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the intervals between tests can sometimes mask slow-developing leaks or degradation of rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the record repeatedly shows tyres worn on the edges or suffering structural cuts. This often points to poor wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that cause uneven tyre wear. The 2024 failure for a missing front road wheel fixing further highlights a lack of attention to detail, necessitating a check that all wheel bolts are properly torqued. The age of the vehicle suggests the chassis should also be inspected for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity beyond the basic requirements.
