2009 AUDI A52.0L Petrol

The 2009 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 46,507 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 8 May 2025 at 43,523 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage stands at 46,507 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 2,736 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light annual use: 35,533 miles on 27 April 2023, rising to 41,141 by 10 May 2024, then 43,523 in May 2025 and 46,507 in December 2025. The sparse but clean record reveals no rapid accumulation and no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests. Low mileage of this order often implies prolonged standing periods, though the history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred rectification. A single failure appears on 10 May 2024 at 41,141 miles, logged with no defects recorded; the same date shows a pass at identical mileage. This administrative anomaly suggests a retest or data duplication rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Buyers should nonetheless verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed fault entry exists behind that duplicate record. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the A5 requires only standard pre-purchase checks. Inspect underbody structural integrity for standing-water rust, confirm tyre sidewall condition given low rotational wear, and test brake caliper freedom after likely static storage. The record itself warrants no corrective action.
