Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the October 2025 test at 28,085 miles. This most recent result indicates that previous issues regarding tyre condition and drive shaft components have been addressed. While the car has faced recurring advisories in the past, the absence of any defects in the latest inspection suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to a satisfactory standard. The mileage history reflects extremely low usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,553 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, slow climb from 7,585 miles in May 2018 to 28,085 miles in October 2025. Such low annual mileage often implies the vehicle spends significant time stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance requirements for rubber components and fluids. The MOT history highlights a clear trend of tyre degradation and ageing rubber. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged cracking, perishing, and nails in multiple tyres. This pattern suggests that the low usage may be causing tyre sidewalls to age and perish despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer should inspect the full set of tyres for structural integrity and signs of flat-spotting or dry rot. Mechanical attention was required regarding the nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot, which was flagged as severely deteriorated in both October 2021 and October 2022. Although the 2025 test shows no current defects, a physical inspection of the CV boots and drive shaft joints is necessary to ensure the replacement part has not suffered similar premature deterioration. Checking for any fluid leaks or grease spray around the suspension and drivetrain will confirm the effectiveness of previous repairs.

Our Verdict

Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage executive tourer. This Audi A5 has exceptionally low mileage and a clean recent MOT, suggesting it has been well-maintained.

When inspecting this specific vehicle, your priority should be to verify the service history. With such low mileage, it is vital that the oil changes were performed annually rather than just based on mileage to protect the 2.0L diesel engine. Check that the tyres have been replaced recently, as the history shows a pattern of perishing and wear across multiple tyres in 2023 and 2024.

Check the CV boots again; the 2022 and 2021 MOTs noted deterioration there, so ensure these have been replaced and there is no longer grease leaking from the drive shaft joints. Given the low mileage, also check for any cracks in the rubber components and underbody, which can occur when a car sits stationary for long periods.

The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for long-distance efficiency, offering good fuel economy for motorway miles. You can expect around 50-60 MPG depending on driving style. Tax is moderate for this engine size, and insurance typically falls into a mid-range premium bracket.

Maintenance costs for Audi are generally higher than for brands, but the low mileage suggests fewer component replacements. Estimate annual costs at approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, and a basic servicing fund.

Pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT record for 2023 and 2024 highlights multiple issues with perishing, nails, and uneven wear on several tyres. Ensure the current set of tyres is high quality and shows no signs of damage.

Inspect the front drive shafts. The history shows 'severely deteriorated' CV boots in both 2021 and 2022. While these may have been fixed, verify there are no clicking noises when turning the wheel at full lock, which would indicate the joint itself has suffered from failure.

This 2015 Audi A5 diesel is a rare find, having covered just 28,085 miles in over eleven years, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The MOT history shows minor issues related to tyres and CV boots, but no major mechanical failures. The most recent MOT passed with zero recorded defects, indicating the car is currently in very good condition.

The Audi A5 of this generation is generally considered robust, provided the timing belt and diesel systems are maintained to schedule to prevent carbon-related issues.
