2013 AUDI A53.0L Diesel

The Audi A5 presents a currently roadworthy status following the February 2026 test at 152,105 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three most recent annual tests, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. Records show a clean history from the February 2024 pass at 130,032 miles through to the latest examination. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2013 vehicle, rising from 130,032 miles in February 2024 to 142,360 miles in February 2025 and reaching 152,105 miles by February 2026. This equates to roughly 11,000 miles per year, consistent with average use and no periods of excessive wear or long standing. The sparse record shows only passes and two same-day failures in 2025 and 2026 with no defects logged, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than mechanical concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's thirteen-year age and 152,105 miles. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude unseen corrosion or worn consumables. Verify the February 2025 and February 2026 same-day fail-and-pass pairs were paperwork corrections, not concealed rectification work. Given the clean MOT trail, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current, though high mileage means drivetrain components such as timing chain and clutch may be nearing service intervals. Inspect underneath for structural rust and check exhaust emissions during a cold start before purchase.
