2022 Audi A5 S LN Blck ED 35 TDI Mhev SA 2.0L Diesel · VB11 NDA

This vehicle exhibits a high-intensity usage profile characterized by an overall consistent roadworthiness record, though the latest inspection on 13 February 2026 introduced several advisories regarding tyre wear and windscreen damage. While the previous test in February 2025 was entirely clear of defects, the current trend shows the emergence of consumable wear and minor structural damage. An accumulation of 82,461 miles over approximately four years represents a high annual average of over 20,000 miles. Such high-mileage usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to average UK driving patterns. This level of utilization suggests the vehicle has spent significant time in sustained high-speed or long-distance environments, which places specific demands on the engine and transmission. Immediate attention is required for the front tyres, as both the nearside and offside front were recorded as worn close to the legal limit during the February 2026 test. A prospective buyer should inspect the tread depth across the width of the tyre to check for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components. The recorded damage to the offside front windscreen should be evaluated for the risk of further spreading or impairment of visibility. Because manufacturer undertrays prevented a full inspection of certain components during the last test, there is a lack of objective data regarding the condition of the lower chassis and engine seals. During a physical inspection, it is necessary to verify the integrity of the undertrays and check for oil misting or fluid leaks that may have been obscured. On the test drive, listen for any abnormal knocks or vibrations from the front end, which would be consistent with the high mileage and the current tyre wear patterns.
