2019 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · S99 SAH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating rather than stable. The most recent MOT on 2025-07-01 at 23,089 miles passed, yet the history reveals a significant gap in record-keeping between late 2024 and early 2023. Failing twice on the 2023-06-01 test at 6,836 miles indicates that basic upkeep was skipped during this period, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The 2022-06-07 test at 5,015 miles further confirms this pattern of neglect, where the tester flagged multiple specific faults including cracked tyres and worn suspension bushes, suggesting that the vehicle has been neglected since late 2024. Regarding the mileage context, the vehicle has only 7 years of age with only 23,089 miles recorded, which is exceptionally low for a 2019 model. While this low mileage suggests the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or stood the car longer, the data points to a lack of preventive maintenance. The rapid accumulation of miles between the 2023-06-01 and 2022-06-07 tests, combined with the absence of any MOTs after 2022, indicates that the vehicle has been sitting in a storage environment for over two years without any inspection. This gap in records is the primary risk factor for the vehicle's future safety. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the car for structural integrity and mechanical wear immediately. The recurring faults flagged in the 2022-06-07 test, specifically cracked tyres, worn suspension bushes, and smearing wiper blades, represent a serious structural risk that requires immediate attention. The history of failing tests at 6,836 miles between late 2023 and early 2024 suggests that the vehicle has been neglected for over two years, making it highly probable that the tyre tread will be insufficient for the new owner's driving habits. Therefore, a buyer should not proceed without a full, thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components to assess the true condition of the vehicle.
