2013 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · Y66 MAV

The roadworthiness status of this 2013 Audi A5 is currently sound, supported by a clean pass recorded on July 16, 2025, at 95,399 miles. This latest test followed an initial refusal just one week prior on July 9, 2025, though the test record lists no specific defects for that failure, which often indicates an administrative issue or a rectified minor prep item rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend remains stable, mirroring clean passes from June 5, 2024, and September 16, 2022, where zero advisories were logged across consecutive years. The vehicle accumulates mileage at a moderate pace, averaging roughly 7,300 miles annually over its thirteen-year lifespan. A noticeable gap exists between the September 2022 test and the June 2024 test, spanning nearly twenty-one months without a recorded MOT. This hiatus suggests the car may have spent a significant period off the road, in storage, or used sparingly during that window. Following this gap, the mileage resumed a steady trajectory leading up to the July 2025 inspection, situated roughly thirteen months prior to the current date. Prospective buyers should approach this purchase with confidence regarding the lack of recurring advisory items, as the history is remarkably devoid of structural rust, suspension degradation, or brake component warnings. Because the official record contains zero historical advisories to cross-reference, a physical pre-purchase inspection must focus heavily on the condition of consumable items such as brake discs and pads, multi-link suspension arms, and tyre tread depths. A thorough cold-start check of the engine bay and transmission is also prudent to ensure the extended inter-test gap in 2022 and 2024 did not result in neglected fluid maintenance or perished rubber components.
