2016 Audi A5 3.0L Petrol · FR57 AJR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on December 9, 2025 at 109,412 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, characterized by a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both December 2024 and December 2025, the car failed its test on one day and passed on the very following day, suggesting that the owner addresses specific defects only when prompted by a tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 83,803 miles and the December 2024 test at 95,707 miles, the car covered nearly 12,000 miles in eleven months. A further 13,705 miles were recorded between December 2024 and December 2025. This steady rate of travel indicates regular use, which generally helps prevent component seizing, though it also places expected wear on long-term components. While the record shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion or mechanical leaks, the repeated back-to-back failures necessitate a physical inspection of the items that caused the rejects. A buyer should verify if these failures were minor consumable issues, such as light bulbs or wiper blades, or more significant safety-related components. Given the over 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check should also focus on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs, as these often reach the end of their service life at this interval despite a clean MOT history sheet.
