2015 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · AE64 FPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of minor regulatory failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 18 December 2024 at 83,169 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for non-conforming registration plates. This specific defect is purely cosmetic and legal rather than mechanical or structural, suggesting that the core components of the Audi A5 were in acceptable condition during the final inspection period. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 72,270 miles and the December 2024 test at 83,169 miles, the car covered roughly 11,000 miles. This indicates regular annual usage which is generally preferable for maintaining seals and rubber components over long periods of inactivity. The lack of significant gaps in testing suggests the vehicle has been kept in consistent use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lighting assemblies and electrical systems, as the 2023 failure highlighted incorrect indicator colours on both rear direction lights. While these were simple fixes, they indicate a need for attention to exterior trim condition. Given the age and moderate mileage, an inspection should also verify the state of suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on this model that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they become significant.
