2016 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · AF16 JXX

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 14 February 2022 at 77,908 miles passed cleanly with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, as the car consistently met all mechanical and safety requirements without flagging minor issues during the recorded inspection periods. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used but modern vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between March 2019 at 47,857 miles and February 2022 at 77,908 miles, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles over three years. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which can lead to seized calipers or internal corrosion. However, because no MOT has been recorded since February 2022, the vehicle is currently over four years overdue for its annual test, necessitating an immediate comprehensive inspection to verify the current state of components. Given the lack of recorded mechanical failures or structural advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to age-related degradation rather than recurring faults. A buyer must check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often perish on Audis of this era regardless of low mileage. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for pitting or uneven wear if the car has sat stationary since the last test. Additionally, inspecting the chassis for any signs of new surface corrosion is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the 2022 record suggested.
