2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · CH11 OAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of consistent passes. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 81,501 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a clean result from October 2024, suggesting that any previous mechanical concerns have either been addressed or have not progressed into failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over the years, such as 2,380 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 2,333 miles in the following year. This low annual mileage generally implies less strain on drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle spends long periods sitting stationary. A single advisory appeared in the record back in October 2023 at 76,789 miles, where the tester flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear on both edges. This specific fault often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While this did not recur in subsequent clean tests, a buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry and check for excessive play to ensure the uneven wear has not returned. Given the age of the Audi A5, a thorough physical check for structural corrosion on the underbody and wheel arches is also advisable, as low mileage does not prevent the natural progression of rust.
