2015 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · P90 SBM

The 2015 Audi A5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 at 98,908 miles recording a pass and no defects. This follows a 2024-12-16 pass at 90,194 miles, though a concurrent failure entry at the same mileage and date raises ambiguity. The 2023-12-15 test at 78,661 miles also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. While the 2024 failure remains unexplained, the absence of recorded defects in subsequent tests implies any prior issues were resolved. The vehicle’s mechanical state appears reliable, with no recurring faults flagged in the history. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the model, averaging 8,992 miles annually over 11 years. The 2023-2025 tests show gradual accumulation, with 11,533 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, reflecting slightly higher activity. No abrupt spikes or extended gaps in mileage are evident, indicating regular use. The MOT record is otherwise clean, with no advisories or critical failures documented. This suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to standard, though the 2024 failure at 90,194 miles warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved concerns. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of structural rust or major defects in the MOT history is reassuring, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the integrity of the exhaust system and body panels. Given the 2024 failure, checking service records for repairs or adjustments to braking or suspension systems would provide further clarity on the vehicle’s maintenance trajectory.
