2014 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · D92 SAM

The Audi A5 presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 31 October 2023 at 155,196 miles, and the maintenance trend across the supplied records reads as stable with no advisories or defects logged at any stage. The vehicle passed without issue on 5 November 2021, then showed paired fail and pass entries on the same dates of 3 November 2022 at 150,655 miles and 31 October 2023 at 155,196 miles, though neither failure listed any recorded defect, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical rejection. Recorded mileage sits at 155,196 against a 2014 build, equating to roughly 12,933 miles per year and placing this car above typical use for its age. The gap between the November 2021 untimed pass and the November 2022 test shows 150,655 miles, then only 4,541 miles accrued by October 2023, a marked slowdown in annual use. The supplied history is sparse, with three pass results and two same-day fails carrying no defect data, so the record itself offers little insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high overall mileage and twelve-year age. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission advisories in the MOT data does not preclude underlying structural rust or worn drivetrain mounts invisible to the tester without strip-down. Verify the circumstances behind the two zero-defect failures, as these may reflect DVSA system errors or withheld fault lines. Prior owners ran the car at sustained motorway distances until recently; expect tyre and wiper wear consistent with that, but confirm binding calipers and chassis integrity on a ramp before purchase.
