2011 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · VU61 HAA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 February 2026 at 103,526 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by a passing result. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the car failed the test exactly one day prior to a pass with identical mileage. This suggests the previous owner engaged in reactive maintenance, addressing faults only when prompted by the annual inspection rather than performing proactive preventative care. The mileage profile is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 5,507 miles, while it covered 6,619 miles in the following year leading up to the 2026 test. This indicates steady, low-intensity usage rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commuting. The low mileage for the age generally suggests that rubber components and suspension bushings may suffer from age-related degradation rather than high mileage-induced wear. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer must investigate the nature of the two one-day failures. Since the record does not list specific defects for those failures, they likely involved minor items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or fluid leaks that were rectified quickly. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, as Audi models of this era are prone to rust. Checking for binding brake calipers and the condition of the coil springs is also essential to ensure the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical health.
