2019 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · PV19 PHX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 17 July 2026 at 23,778 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple defects across all four tyres and the rear brake system. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they reach the point of legal failure, which can lead to a lack of routine servicing between annual inspections. At seven years old, the recorded 23,778 miles represent a very low annual usage rate of approximately 3,400 miles per year. This low mileage typically implies less wear on drivetrain components, yet the data shows the vehicle has likely sat stationary for extended periods. Between June 2025 and July 2026, the car covered only 4,506 miles, yet it presented with significant tyre wear issues and thin brake pads. This type of intermittent use often leads to flat-spotting, corrosion on surfaces, and degradation of rubber components despite the low distance driven. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the rear suspension, specifically the corrosion noted on the nearside and offside lower suspension spring mountings during the June 2025 test. Although the tester did not consider it excessive at that time, corrosion on mounting points can progress rapidly if left unmanaged. Furthermore, the recurring failures for low tyre tread across 2022, 2023, and 2026 indicate a history of neglecting basic consumables. You should verify the age and condition of the current tyres and check for sidewall damage, as the previous failure flagged a damaged sidewall on the nearside rear tyre.
