2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · C14 EET

The 2017 Audi A5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-06 at 92,248 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed, with no recorded issues. The single failure in 2023-10-17 at 72,163 miles is anomalous, as no defects were logged, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-critical issue resolved before the follow-up test the next day. Overall, the maintenance trend shows consistency, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging ~10,250 miles annually. The 2023-10-17 failure occurred just one day before a subsequent pass at 72,165 miles, indicating a potential oversight or rapid resolution. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, and the vehicle’s service history appears unremarkable. The absence of defects in recent tests suggests the owner maintained the car to meet legal standards, though no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond MOT compliance is present. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without MOT testing. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for wear, as these are critical for safety. Structural integrity and corrosion, especially in body seams or underbody panels, warrant scrutiny, as these issues often go undetected in standard MOT checks. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden faults, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable.
