2013 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

The Audi A5 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 121,200 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failed test on 23 January 2026 at 121,138 miles that listed no defects, followed six days later by a clean pass at 121,200 miles. The earlier failure on 4 August 2023 at 104,285 miles also carried no recorded defects before a pass on the same day. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the record. The odometer shows 121,200 miles against a 2013 build, averaging roughly 9,300 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The gap between the August 2023 test at 104,285 miles and the January 2025 pass at 116,053 miles covers about 11,800 miles over seventeen months, a normal rate. From January 2025 to January 2026 the car added only 5,147 miles, suggesting lighter recent use. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. Because no advisories flag suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the MOT data implies previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged wear items. The two zero-defect failures remain unexplained by the record and may reflect administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and binding calipers, as the MOT only captures test-day condition. Check the front and rear suspension for worn bushes and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition, since these consumables leave no permanent MOT trail when replaced before test.
