2017 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · AC12 HAZ

The 2017 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 64,913 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 29 May 2024 at 57,939 miles confirms the vehicle has carried no outstanding advisories or failures for over a year before sale. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year. The record shows 45,740 miles in May 2022, 51,345 in May 2023, 57,939 by May 2024, and 64,913 by May 2025, a steady annual climb of around 6,000 to 7,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The only anomaly is the failed test on 27 May 2024 at 57,920 miles, retested two days later at 57,939 miles and passed; the DVSA entry logs no defects, which suggests an administrative or equipment issue at the first centre rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of recorded advisories across all tests, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not always flag in detail. Tyres, brake disc thickness, and suspension bushes warrant hands-on checks despite clean certificates. The two-day fail-pass sequence in May 2024 means a previous owner tolerated a short lapse before correction; verify the retest paperwork and confirm no welded repairs or concealed corrosion exist around structural mountings. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the history, so the A5 shows no worsening pattern of wear. A pre-purchase check of underbody condition and emissions hardware remains sensible, but the documentary trail implies consistent, if unremarkable, upkeep by prior keepers.
