2014 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · OY64 KCV

The vehicle presents an improving maintenance trend following a period of inconsistent upkeep. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 129,884 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a significant failure just one week prior on 28 November 2025, which flagged multiple tyre cuts reaching the cords, headlamp aim issues, and a split offside front drive shaft CV boot. The successful retest indicates that these specific consumable and drivetrain components were addressed promptly. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. The record shows steady progress from 108,842 miles in November 2023 to 116,229 miles in December 2024, and finally reaching 129,884 miles by late 2025. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular usage patterns. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems due to previous failures. The November 2024 test at 116,186 miles identified a serious fluid leak from the nearside rear shock absorber and a significant brake imbalance across the front axle. While the 2025 records show these issues were resolved, the history of imbalance and leaking dampers suggests the suspension components have undergone significant stress. The recurring nature of tyre damage in the November 2025 failure suggests a potential pattern of neglect regarding basic consumable maintenance. Beyond the tyres, the previous windscreen damage and CV boot failure highlight a need to check the integrity of all rubber seals and glass for any signs of subsequent wear or poor-quality repairs. Ensuring the drive shaft boots and shock absorbers remain intact is essential for long-term reliability.
