2019 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · SL69 HSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 44,097 miles identified thin front brake pads as a defect. This follows a pass in November 2024 where the offside rear brake disc was noted to be pitted and scored. While the car consistently passes its tests, the recurring appearance of brake component wear suggests that parts are only addressed once they reach the threshold of inspection failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression of use moving from 24,896 miles in late 2022 to 44,097 miles by late 2025. A significant lapse occurred in in November 2023 at 30,241 miles when all four tyres failed for being below the legal 1.6mm tread limit. This failure suggests a period where basic consumable maintenance was neglected until the MOT test forced a replacement. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the pitted offside rear disc has been replaced and that the front calipers are not binding. Given the history of thin pads and scored discs, the current state of the rotors should be checked for uneven wear, which often occurs when maintenance is neglected. Additionally, the low mileage relative to the age warrants a check for dry rotting in rubber components and suspension bushings, which can degrade over time even if the vehicle is not driven frequently.
