2011 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

The current roadworthiness status of this Audi A5 is excellent, as evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 10 January 2026 at 156,014 miles. The maintenance trend appears highly stable, with the vehicle clearing its most recent inspection without a single advisory or defect. While the history shows two instances of failed tests in November 2023 and January 2025, these were rectified immediately on the same day, indicating that the vehicle was presented for testing, identified for minor administrative or procedural issues, and cleared without requiring significant remedial mechanical work. The vehicle has covered 156,014 miles over fifteen years, which averages to approximately 10,400 miles per annum. This is entirely consistent with typical usage for a premium coupe of this age. The mileage accumulation between November 2023 and January 2025 was notably low, totaling only 177 miles, which suggests the car may have experienced a period of limited use or storage. However, the subsequent increase of roughly 4,000 miles between January 2025 and January 2026 confirms the car has returned to regular service. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical components that often escape MOT scrutiny, such as the condition of the drivetrain and the responsiveness of the transmission. Although the MOT record is currently clean, the high total mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as these parts are prone to fatigue on Audi platforms of this era. Verify that the engine operates smoothly without signs of oil leaks or cooling system pressure issues, as the recent MOT pass confirms roadworthiness but does not guarantee the longevity of complex internal engine components.
