2015 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · CT15 BDV

The Audi A5 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its available MOT history. The most recent test on 17 May 2023 at 64,382 miles returned a pass, though the same date also logged a failure with no defects cited, a known DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 10 March 2022 examination at 52,796 miles showed the identical pass-fail pattern with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared every functional assessment it underwent. Recorded mileage stands at 64,382 against an 11-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,853 miles per year. This is low for the model age and suggests either light commuting use or extended periods of storage. The gap between the March 2022 and May 2023 tests covers only 11,586 miles, a modest annualised accumulation that implies gentle use. The sparse history with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across both years limits our view of wear but shows no escalating fault pattern. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the low mileage may mask moisture-related degradation from standing. The clean record offers no flagged binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or worn tyres to pursue, yet the twin pass-fail entries on both test dates warrant confirmation that no outstanding rectification was required. Verify the V5C and DVSA portal to reconcile the duplicate outcomes before purchase. Given the absent advisories, focus physical checks on consumable items the MOT may not capture at test: wiper blades, fluid condition, and tyre sidewall age. The previous keeper maintained test compliance but the anomalous failures hint at administrative rather than mechanical neglect.
