2018 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

The Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 23 June 2025 at 61,383 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations from June 2021 to June 2025 the vehicle cleared every assessment without a single advisory. This unbroken sequence indicates consistent upkeep and no worsening mechanical condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for an eight year old vehicle. The record shows 32,861 miles at the 1 June 2021 test, rising to 40,910 by 29 June 2022, then 49,176 on 5 July 2023, 55,524 on 2 July 2024 and 61,383 on 23 June 2025. Annual increments averaged near 7,600 miles and displayed a slight deceleration in the later years. No gaps appear in the testing cadence and the clean history suggests previous owners attended to consumables before each examination. The absence of flagged faults means the tester noted no concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, discs, exhaust emissions or structural integrity during any visit. Such a record implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred repairs. A buyer should nonetheless commission a physical inspection of common Audi wear points not always visible at MOT, particularly front control arm bushes, rear coil spring seats and subframe corrosion protection. Given the last test dated June 2025, the certificate remains current relative to today's date in July 2026, though expiry approaches. Verify in person that tyre tread depths and wiper blades meet limits, as these minor items can degrade quickly between tests. Overall the mechanical evidence supports a sound purchase provided a routine pre-sale check confirms the unchanged condition.
