2012 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

This Audi A5 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 152,822 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean tests dating back to February 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a 14 year old vehicle. Between February 2022 and May 2025, the odometer rose from 126,908 to 152,822 miles, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the record that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components typically degrade by 150,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Checking for chassis corrosion and inspecting the brake discs for lip wear is recommended to ensure the vehicle has received preventative maintenance beyond the minimum legal requirements. The failure on 5 May 2023 was resolved on the same day, and the lack of detailed defect data for that specific event suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the drivetrain and oil leaks is prudent, as the MOT test does not comprehensively evaluate the internal health of the engine or gearbox.
