2015 Audi A5 1.8L Petrol · YO02 CAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Following a failure in January 2026 at 65,506 miles, the car failed due to an ineffective wiper and multiple wear-related defects. While it passed the immediate re-test, the presence of pitted front brake discs and worn tyres suggests that the owner is only addressing faults once they reach failure thresholds rather than performing scheduled preventative replacements. At 65,506 miles over eleven years, this Audi A5 has significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent pattern of low usage, with a 6,935-mile gap between November 2022 and November 2023, and a 6,322-mile gap between late 2023 and early 2026. However, low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which may explain the scored and pitted brake discs noted in the most recent tests. A buyer must personally inspect the front braking system, as the recorded pitting and scoring on the discs in 2026 indicate surface oxidation or heat damage common with periods of inactivity. The recurring advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit, seen in 2023 and again in 2026, suggest a lack of attention to tyre pressure or alignment issues causing uneven edge wear. Additionally, check the windscreen for the damage noted in the January 2026 record and ensure the wiper assembly has been properly replaced to resolve the previous failure.
