2011 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · RV61 AGX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 13 March 2026, confirming its roadworthiness status. While the car passed this most recent inspection, the initial failure on the same day due to an ineffective windscreen wiper and thinning brake components highlights a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. The transition from a clean pass in May 2024 to these specific advisories suggests that the current owner may have deferred routine consumable replacements, though the overall mechanical condition remains stable rather than showing signs of systemic failure. With a total of 76,168 miles accumulated over fifteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,078 miles annually, which is notably low for an Audi A5 of this vintage. The history shows consistent, moderate usage patterns between 2021 and 2024, with no significant gaps in the testing cycle that would typically indicate long-term storage or neglect. This mileage profile suggests the vehicle has likely been used for shorter, intermittent journeys, a pattern that often places more stress on exhaust systems and battery health than high-speed motorway driving. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the front discs and rear pads noted during the March 2026 test. Although these were not deemed dangerous at the time of inspection, they represent immediate maintenance costs that should be factored into the purchase price. Given the age of the vehicle and its low-mileage profile, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, as rubber components often degrade due to time rather than mechanical wear. Ensure the wiper blades have been replaced as indicated by the failure notice, and verify that the brake pedal feel is firm, as the previous advisories suggest the friction materials are nearing the end of their service life.
