2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · BJ13 VMZ

This 2013 Audi A5 presents a stable and recently confirmed roadworthiness position, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 127,598 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean sheet is significant given the vehicle's earlier history. The maintenance trend over the past three years shows clear improvement, moving from a pattern of recurring wear-related advisories and a failure in 2025 to a fully compliant result in 2026. This suggests the previous owner addressed outstanding items rather than deferring them, which is a positive indicator of care in the most recent ownership period. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,815 miles per year. A notable jump of approximately 20,000 miles occurred between the February 2023 test at 103,640 miles and the February 2024 test at 123,619 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. Since then the annual increment has settled to around 1,100 miles per year, pointing to much lighter recent use or a period of limited driving. The MOT record itself is consistent, with annual tests filed each February, leaving no concerning gaps in the testing history. The 2025 failure and its associated advisories warrant closer physical inspection despite the subsequent pass. Both front lower suspension arm rear pins or bushes were flagged as excessively worn on 15 February 2025, and the front service brake was recorded as excessively fluctuating on the same date. A buyer should have the front suspension bushes and lower arms inspected for play, and the front brake discs and calipers checked for uneven wear, runout, or binding caliper pistons. The repeated appearance of worn rear tyres in 2025 and inner edge wear on the front tyres in 2024 suggests possible tracking or alignment issues that should be verified with a four-wheel alignment check. While the 2026 pass indicates these items were addressed, confirming the quality of the repairs through an independent inspection remains prudent.
