2012 AUDI A53.0L Diesel

The 2026‑02‑02 MOT at 135,500 miles confirms the 2012 Audi A5 remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a maintenance trend that is stable. Mileage has risen from 106,193 miles in January 2023 to 135,500 miles in February 2026, an average annual increase of roughly 9,600 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and shows consistent vehicle activity without major periods of standing still. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components—bushes, coil springs and dampers—since high mileage can accelerate wear, and on the braking system, including brake discs, pads and calipers, which may exhibit binding or uneven wear despite the clean test record. In addition, the condition of tyres, wiper blades and fluid levels should be verified, as these consumables often reflect the level of routine care the previous owners provided.
