2021 Audi A5 S Line 40 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · A26 ODA

The Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 25,565 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 14 March 2025 at 22,625 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 12 March 2025 at 22,623 miles, which the record shows with no defects logged; the owner corrected whatever administrative or presentation issue caused the failure within two days and secured a pass. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear across the history. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a five-year-old vehicle. Recorded distances move from 17,388 miles at the 26 March 2024 test, to 22,623 miles on 12 March 2025, then 25,565 miles by December 2025. That averages roughly 5,113 miles per year. The two-year gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is the longest interval in the record, yet accumulation stayed low at about 5,200 miles over those twelve months. Sparse entries and zero advisories suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current but the car spent extended periods stationary. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of components the MOT cannot fully assess. Low mileage with long standing invites seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded suspension bushes from lack of flex. The December 2025 pass with no defects means nothing structural or mechanical is flagged, but verify underseal condition and check for subframe corrosion given the car's age. Confirm the 12 March 2025 failure cause with the test centre paperwork before purchase. A no-defect fail often stems from a documentation or identification mismatch rather than wear, yet the buyer should close that gap. Given the clean trajectory, the A5 shows no worsening trend and remains a sound used buy subject to a routine pre-sale check.
