2016 AUDI A52.0L Diesel

The Audi A5 is currently roadworthy. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 99,478 miles returned a pass with no defects logged. Maintenance trend remains stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across the record. On 22 April 2024 at 67,288 miles the DVSA entry shows a failure with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass the same day at identical mileage, an anomaly pointing to procedural error rather than a decline in mechanical condition. Mileage progression against the 2016 build year averages roughly 9,948 miles annually, yet the test history is sparse with only five entries. The car recorded 54,556 miles on 10 November 2022, then 67,288 by 22 April 2024, a restrained 12,732-mile gain over seventeen months. From that point to 78,309 miles on 18 April 2025 the yearly rate held near 11,000. The final interval tells a different story: odometer reached 99,478 on 20 April 2026, adding 21,169 miles in just over twelve months and revealing markedly heavier recent use. No recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion faults appear in the MOT data, and prior owners clearly maintained the car to avoid mechanical failures at test. Nevertheless, a decade-old executive model at 99,478 miles demands physical checks of age-sensitive parts. The buyer should examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, assess brake discs and caliper binding, and probe underbody structural integrity for corrosion. Tyres and wiper blades fall under minor consumable wear and may have been replaced quietly; their present state is unverified by the record. A workshop inspection remains sensible to confirm latent wear before purchase.
