2014 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

The 2014 Audi A5 shows a fully roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the latest DVSA test on 13 February 2026 at 132,610 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. Prior examinations on 10 January 2025 at 114,092 miles, 13 January 2024 at 99,179 miles, 23 December 2022 at 93,552 miles and 25 November 2021 at 70,121 miles each returned passes with zero advisories. The vehicle has avoided any recorded mechanical or structural faults across five consecutive annual inspections. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a twelve-year-old car, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year against the recorded 132,610 total. The odometer jumped 23,431 miles between the November 2021 and December 2022 tests, then slowed to 5,627 miles by January 2024, before rising 14,913 and 18,518 miles in the subsequent two periods. A 2023 test is absent from the sequence, indicating a delayed renewal rather than a failure, and the overall record remains sparse and clean with no flagged wear. DVSA examiners issued no advisories for binding calipers or corroded brake discs across the record, yet at 132,610 miles these components warrant measurement of pad thickness and disc run-out. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs and steering joints for age-related degradation not yet requiring mandatory failure. Check exhaust emissions and underbody structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around sills and subframes, as twelve years of service can hide superficial rust. The consecutive passes suggest previous keepers addressed routine maintenance before each test, avoiding the skipped consumable replacements that often trigger advisories. Given the clean record, focus personal inspection on minor consumable wear such as tyre tread depth and wiper condition, which can degrade without formal notification.
