2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · AP17 AAX

The 2017 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 May 2025 at 85,132 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the documented history. The tester recorded no defects at that examination. Two days earlier, on 17 May 2025 at the same mileage, the vehicle failed the test yet the DVSA entry shows no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes in 2024, 2023, and 2022 likewise carried zero advisories. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,459 miles per year against the vehicle's nine-year age, a typical usage profile. The records show 51,518 miles in May 2022, 58,943 in May 2023, 71,625 in May 2024, and 85,132 by May 2025. That equates to steady yearly accumulation near 12,000 to 13,500 miles, with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest the previous keeper addressed wear before each test, though the sparse defect data limits deeper diagnostic inference. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as the MOT record offers no visibility of consumable wear between tests. The unexplained fail on 17 May 2025 warrants confirmation that no latent fault escaped the subsequent pass. Given the clean history, structural corrosion and exhaust emissions are unlikely concerns, but physical verification of underbody integrity remains prudent on a nine-year-old vehicle.
