2010 Audi S5 3.0L Petrol · KN07 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection in December 2022 at 93,701 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all safety and environmental standards at that point. This long-term lack of recurring faults suggests a proactive maintenance approach where the previous owners addressed issues before they escalated into test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,856 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2019 at 75,250 miles and November 2020 at 86,895 miles, where the car covered roughly 11,600 miles in seventeen months. Since then, the accumulation has remained steady, with less than 3,000 miles recorded annually. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or fluid breakdown due to extended periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is clean, a prospective buyer must focus on inspecting components susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Given the low usage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, bushings, and sidewalls is essential to check for cracking or perished. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from rust buildup on the rotors. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago, a fresh MOT inspection is required to ensure no new structural corrosion or mechanical leaks have developed since the 2022 entry.
