2014 Audi A5 1.8L Petrol · OY64 KCZ

This 2014 Audi A5 presents a stable and largely sound roadworthiness trend, though the most recent tests indicate the onset of minor mechanical degradation. The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 27 March 2026 at 15,875 miles with only a minor advisory for worn and smearing front wipers. However, the 2025 test reveals emerging wear on crucial consumable components. The overall historical pattern remains positive, shifting from completely clean passes between 2021 and 2023 to the current minor advisory state. The mileage profile reflects exceptionally low annual usage. Averaging roughly 1,323 miles per year over 12 years, the car has covered just 15,875 miles by June 2026. Mileage accumulation is consistent and gradual, with no sudden spikes or unexplained gaps in the record. The car covered only 1,192 miles between the September 2023 test at 12,587 miles and the March 2025 test at 14,683 miles. Such low mileage implies the vehicle has primarily undertaken short, intermittent journeys or experienced prolonged periods standing idle, which carries its own specific mechanical implications. Prospective buyers must physically verify the condition of the braking system and tyres. The March 2025 test at 14,683 miles flagged the front brake disc as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened by corrosion. Disc surface pitting strongly supports the low-mileage standing hypothesis, as intermittent use allows surface rust to build and etch into the iron. The tester also noted the nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. Edge wear often points to alignment issues or suspension geometry problems, so a close inspection of the front suspension bushes and steering components is essential. The pitted front discs require immediate assessment to determine if replacement is necessary, while the front wipers flagged in March 2026 are a trivial consumable replacement.
