2010 Audi A5 3.0L Petrol · PF07 ACF

The 2010 Audi A5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-17 at 83,471 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior test in 2025-06-19 at 82,838 miles also passed, while the 2024-05-22 test at 81,244 miles showed a pass after a failed result on 2024-05-17 at 81,242 miles. No defects were noted in any test, suggesting consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent years indicates the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the unexplained failure in May 2024 warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 83,471 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 5,217 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged storage. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 10-month interval between the 2023-02-24 test at 75,574 miles and the 2024-05-17 failure. The sudden jump in mileage from 75,574 to 81,242 miles within 15 months raises questions about usage patterns. While the MOT history is otherwise clean, the sparse data and irregular intervals limit insight into long-term wear trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as minor issues may go undetected in MOTs. Structural rust, especially in the underbody or door sills, requires scrutiny, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion. The vehicle’s low mileage suggests potential for dry rot in rubber components, so tyres, seals, and hoses should be thoroughly examined.
