2021 Audi A5 S Line 35 TDI Mhev S-A 2.0L Diesel · YA70 DSZ

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift in maintenance requirements. While the car passed its April- April 2026 test at 37,293 miles, the tester flagged both the front and rear brake pads as wearing thin. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that consumable components are now reaching the end of life. The mileage profile is consistent with a typical five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,460 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 19,536 miles and the 2025 test at 25,031 miles, the car covered 5,495 miles, followed by a more active period of 12,262 miles before the April 27 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals and mechanical components. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system during a physical viewing. Given that thin pads were noted on both axles, it is essential to check the condition of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear, as well as the calipers for signs of binding. Because the history shows no structural defects or recurring mechanical failures, the focus remains entirely on these routine maintenance items to ensure the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer schedule.
