2015 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

The 2015 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 August 2025 at 104,089 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 September 2024 at 97,527 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried through. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 104,089 against an 11-year lifespan, equating to roughly 9,463 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The DVSA data moves cleanly from 88,889 miles on 21 January 2023 to 93,616 on 23 January 2024, then 97,527 by September 2024, and 104,089 by August 2025. A one-day fail on 19 September 2024 at 97,527 miles preceded the pass with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a substantive fault. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. Given the absence of flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside integrity and brake component wear. Eleven years of age invites hidden rust at sills and subframes even where the tester recorded nothing. Verify the one-day 2024 fail paperwork to confirm no rectification invoice was suppressed from the visible trail. A pre-purchase check should also confirm genuine service intervals were kept outside the MOT scope. The clean test record implies conscientious ownership, but MOTs do not assess cambelt, turbo, or gearbox condition. Independent verification of full service history remains the buyer's safeguard on a 104,000-mile executive diesel.
