2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · KV17 ACU

This Audi A5 demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT test on 17 March 2026 at 56,498 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year pattern of first-time passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a stable mechanical condition and a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between 7 March 2022 at 34,558 miles and the most recent test in March 2026, the car covered 21,940 miles. This averages roughly 5,500 miles per year over the last four years. The lack of sudden spikes or long periods of inactivity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally helps maintain battery health and prevents seals from perishing. The absence of any recorded defects across five consecutive tests is rare. The tester flagged no issues with brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions, nor was there any mention of structural corrosion or tyre tread wear. Such a clean record implies the previous owner adhered to a strict service regime and replaced consumables well before they reached the legal limit. A physical inspection should still focus on common wear items that MOT testers might overlook if they are not yet critical. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads to ensure they have not aged out. Verify the service history stamps to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements align with the clean MOT record. Given the lack of historical faults, there are no specific recurring mechanical risks to target.
