2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · OE13 AFX

The 2013 Audi A5 with 101,690 miles is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by its most recent MOT on 2025-05-17, which passed with no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with no recurring mechanical issues recorded. However, a failed test on 2024-04-03 at 93,210 miles—followed by a pass just seven days later at 93,383 miles—suggests a minor, unresolved concern that was addressed promptly. The absence of defect details in both tests limits definitive analysis, but the rapid resolution implies a low-severity issue, possibly related to emissions or a temporary fault. The vehicle’s mileage progression aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging 7,822 miles annually. Key intervals show consistent growth: 74,368 miles in 2022, rising to 86,001 by 2023, 93,383 by 2024, and 101,690 by 2025. Notably, the 173-mile gap between the failed and subsequent pass in April 2024 indicates a short-term anomaly, though no structural or mechanical risks were flagged. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, suggesting regular maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect reports prevents deeper scrutiny of wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The rear brakes and exhaust system warrant attention, as these are common wear points in older Audis. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage could go undetected in MOT tests. While the records show no critical failures, the 2024 failed test underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of lingering issues.
