AUDI A5 SE TDI AUTO2016 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 14 March 2026. This inspection resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, suggesting a period of stable mechanical operation where the vehicle met the minimum safety and environmental standards required by UK law. The absence of recorded advisories in the latest report indicates that the primary components inspected by the tester were in functional condition at that. At 130,111 miles over ten years, this Audi has covered an average of approximately 13,000 miles per annum. This mileage profile is consistent with regular motorway use, which often results in less clutch and gearbox wear compared to short-distance city driving. The most recent test occurred just three months prior to the current date, confirming the vehicle is in active use and is being kept up to date with statutory testing requirements. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that typically degrade at this mileage interval. Given the high mileage, the suspension geometry, specifically control arm bushes and coil springs, should be checked for signs of excessive play or perished rubber. The braking system requires a thorough check for caliper piston binding or uneven thinning of the discs, as high-mileage vehicles often suffer from heat-related wear over time. While the MOT record is clean, it does not reflect the condition of fluid levels or the internal health of the drivetrain. You should verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to Audi's intervals. Inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion around the rear mounting points is also vital, as the MOT only flags structural issues once they have reached a threshold of failure.
