2013 Audi S5 3.0L Petrol · X100 ADB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 79,894 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable status following a period of recurring consumable issues between 2022 and 2024. While the 2025 test showed no defects, the recent addition of undertrays and under shields suggests the owner has proactively addressed protection or visibility concerns that were noted in previous years. At 79,894 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,146 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with steady intervals of roughly 4,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests since 2019. This low-than-average annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the low frequency can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and brake hardware if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension, as the record notes oil misting on the rear shock absorbers in both 2017 and 2023. While the 2023 entry described only misting, the recurrence suggests a slow leak that may eventually require replacement. The history also reveals a clear pattern of pitted and scored front brake discs recorded between 2021 and 2022. The buyer must verify the current thickness and condition of the discs and pads to ensure they have been replaced since those advisories were issued. The tyre advisories noted between 2022 and 2024, where tyres were frequently worn on the edges or near the legal limit, indicate past alignment issues or neglect of basic maintenance. A physical inspection of the current tyre set is necessary to check for uneven wear patterns that could point to handling instability. Given that engine covers and shields currently restrict the view of components, a thorough manual inspection is required to check for any fluid leaks or structural corrosion that the MOT tester might have missed due to these obstructions.
