2012 Audi A5 S Line TDI 2.0L Diesel · AF62 RZB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 136,872 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed its initial test but passed shortly thereafter after remedial work. This suggests the previous owners were addressing specific mechanical defects or consumable items only when prompted by an MOT failure, rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At fourteen years old, the A5 has been driven at an average of approximately 9,777 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a diesel-powered saloon. The data shows a significant period of activity between March 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered over 6,000 miles in just sixteen months. More recent usage remains consistent, with roughly 4,400 miles recorded between the July 2024 and September 2025 tests. This consistent mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine components are seeing regular use rather than suffering from long periods of stagnation. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system, as the record does not specify the exact causes of the recent 2024 and 2025 failures. Focus on checking for worn control arm bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and signs of binding calipers or thin brake discs. Given the age and mileage, it is also vital to inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the exhaust system and mounting points, as the MOT record does not rule out the presence of surface rust common on vehicles of this era.
