2020 Audi A5 S Line 35 TDI Mhev S-A 2.0L Diesel · A21 LDM

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on the most recent test dated 2025-09-05 at 50,434 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on this occasion, mirroring the flawless result from the previous year on 2024-09-19 at 38,726 miles. This consecutive run of unblemished MOT outcomes indicates that the immediate mechanical and emissions systems are functioning within acceptable tolerances. The maintenance trajectory is positive, showing no recurring serious structural or mechanical risks. Accumulating 50,434 miles over a six-year lifespan equates to roughly 8,406 miles annually, a typical figure for this age. The usage pattern reveals a notable acceleration in recent years. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the odometer advanced by 6,614 miles, but the subsequent twelve months saw a sharper increase of 11,708 miles leading up to the September 2025 test. This spike suggests a shift from lighter use to more regular, potentially longer-distance driving. The data is clean and consistent, showing no anomalous gaps that would indicate extended periods of dormancy or severe neglect. Despite the recent clean records, the 2023-09-20 test at 32,112 miles flagged both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear. Edge wear typically points to suspension geometry deviations, worn suspension bushes, or incorrect tracking rather than simple neglect. Although the subsequent passes suggest the tyres were replaced, a physical inspection of the rear suspension components, coil springs, and alignment is prudent to ensure the underlying cause was rectified. The 2023 test also noted engine covers and undertrays restricting the tester's view. Buyers should verify that these panels are either removed or modified with inspection holes to allow a thorough assessment of the underbody for corrosion, fluid leaks, and structural integrity.
