AUDI A52010 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean inspections over the last three years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 115,002 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the clean passes seen in 2023 and 2024. This recent trend suggests that the mechanical and safety-critical components have been adequately maintained to an acceptable standard since the previous electronic failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of nearly 18,000 miles between August 2022 and August 2023, followed by a steady increase of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year through to subsequent tests. This regular usage pattern indicates the car has not been left stationary for long periods, though the relatively low annual mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals despite low mechanical wear. A buyer should investigate the failure from August 2022 at 100,116 miles, where the engine malfunction indicator light was found inoperative. While the vehicle has passed since then, a diagnostic scan is necessary to ensure the underlying sensor or wiring fault was rectified rather than merely cleared. Given the age of the Audi, a physical inspection should also focus on structural integrity around the subframe and the condition of suspension bushes and bushings, as these are common points of failure for this model that do not always trigger immediate MOT advisories until they become significant.
