2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · AF13 CUO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving maintenance trend over the last three years. Following a failure in late November 2022, the Audi has passed three consecutive MOT tests with zero recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on July 7, 2025, indicates the car was in a clean mechanical state, suggesting that the previous owner proactively addressed any underlying issues that may have led to the earlier recorded failure. At 123,148 miles, the car has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The MOT testing frequency shows consistent intervals, with tests performed annually between 2022 and 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized calipers, perished rubber components, or fluid degradation—common issues frequently found in low-mileage cars of this age. While the digital record is currently clean, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components common to this Audi model and era. A buyer must examine the front suspension assembly, specifically the control arm bushes and ball joints as these often show accelerated wear after the hundred-thousand-mile mark. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for mounting surface corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system is also necessary, as the MOT tester only identifies structural integrity issues once they reach a critical threshold of decay.
