2016 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · AC07 PBC

The 2016 Audi A5 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 63,536 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,354 miles per year against a ten-year lifespan, confirmed by the records: 54,910 miles in November 2021, rising to 57,402 by October 2022, 59,195 by October 2023, 61,498 by November 2024, and 63,536 by October 2025. The DVSA data is sparse in faults but consistent, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests and no rapid accumulation suggesting hard use or neglected intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion unseen in a pass-only record. The absence of advisories means the tester found no immediate concern, yet the history offers no visibility of underlying structural integrity beneath sills or subframes. Given the clean MOT sequence, previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline without deferring examinations. The lack of recorded consumable wear such as tyres or wipers implies either timely private replacement or light seasonal operation rather than skipped upkeep.
