2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · AD12 LAW

The Audi A5 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 October 2025 at 104,538 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared every pass test without issue once the initial failure on the same day was resolved. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,467 miles per year for a 14-year-old car, confirmed by the recorded distances. The October 2023 test at 88,654 miles, the October 2024 test at 100,968 miles, and the October 2025 test at 104,538 miles show consistent yearly use of roughly 9,000 then 3,500 miles. The drop in the later year suggests lighter running in the most recent period. The records show two same-day failures on 9 October 2025 at 104,537 miles and 11 October 2024 at 100,967 miles, each with no defects logged. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect by the owner. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion were flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by a clean MOT, given the car's age. Check for worn suspension components, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions in person. The absence of advisories across three years implies reasonable upkeep, but the same-day fail entries warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA timeline.
