2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · CA11 TOC

The vehicle presents a stable and clean mechanical trend, culminating in a pass on 29 April 2025 at 29,972 miles with zero defects. A separate entry on the same date shows a failure recorded at the identical mileage with no defects listed, which typically indicates an aborted test or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trajectory remains consistently strong, showing no recurring mechanical or structural issues across the recorded history. The Audi A5 has covered just 29,972 miles over thirteen years, averaging roughly 2,306 miles annually. This exceptionally low usage is evident in the steady, minimal mileage accumulation between tests: 1,214 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, 1,114 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, and 2,170 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. Such low annual mileage suggests prolonged periods of standing, which introduces specific risks distinct from high-mileage wear. Despite the clean MOT record, the vehicle's low utilization demands a focused inspection on components susceptible to deterioration from inactivity. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, as infrequent driving prevents pads from wiping rust from the discs. Inspect the tyres thoroughly for sidewall cracking and date codes, since rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or corrosion caused by long stationary periods. Verify the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion and assess the structural integrity of the underbody, ensuring no rust has formed from moisture accumulation during extended idle times. A physical inspection of these areas will confirm whether the previous owner mitigated the inherent risks of running a vehicle so sparingly.
