2012 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

The 2012 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 127,181 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a four-year run of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the inspected period, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening condition cycle. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,084 miles per year against the 127,181 total, which is typical for a 14-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 97,650 miles in February 2023, 105,636 in February 2024, 116,020 in February 2025, and 127,181 in February 2026. A single anomaly occurred on 12 January 2023 when the car failed at 97,627 miles with no defects listed, then passed three weeks later at 97,650 miles, suggesting an administrative or tester error rather than a genuine fault. The data is sparse but clean throughout. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion entries, the previous owner appears to have maintained basic mechanical standards. The clean advisory history implies no recurring wear trends on consumables or structural items were logged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and suspension components, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of incipient wear. Verify the January 2023 fail-to-pass sequence with DVSA paperwork to rule out outstanding compliance issues before purchase.
