2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · AB61 EDY

The Audi A5 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 February 2025 at 171,034 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 27 August 2023 at 124,315 miles shows no escalating fault pattern across the available history. The recorded mileage of 171,034 against a 2017 build year equates to roughly 19,000 miles annually, which is high for the age and points to sustained motorway or business use rather than short urban cycles. A notable gap exists between the February 2022 tests and the August 2023 test, where the odometer moved only 2,408 miles in eighteen months, suggesting the car stood idle or saw minimal use in that window. The February 2022 record shows a fail on 13 February at 121,558 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 18 February at 121,907 miles, a sequence that typically reflects an administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical repair. Given the clean advisory sheets across all presented tests, no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, or corrosion issues are flagged in the data. The high mileage and the idle period around 2022 warrant a physical inspection of drivetrain mounts, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity for hidden fatigue not captured by the MOT. A buyer should also verify the reason for the February 2022 fail with the test station, as the nil-defect record offers no technical explanation for the rejection.
