2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · DA12 WYN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-20 recorded a pass with no defects, but a duplicate failed entry on the same date raises ambiguity. Previous tests from 2024-09-17 and 2023-09-15 also showed passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the absence of a valid MOT as of 2026-07-08 suggests the car may now be non-compliant, requiring immediate verification. No recurring mechanical issues were flagged in the record, but the lack of recent testing limits confidence in its current roadworthiness. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, averaging ~10,212 miles per year since 2012. From 124,212 miles in 2023 to 142,973 miles in 2025, the vehicle shows consistent driving patterns without significant gaps or rapid accumulation. This suggests regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, reducing concerns about corrosion or component degradation from standing. The MOT history lacks anomalies, but the two-year gap between 2023 and 2025 tests—despite annual MOT requirements—highlights a potential oversight in maintenance compliance. A buyer should prioritize inspecting suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, which may show age-related fatigue. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop over time without immediate MOT failures. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body mounts, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s 14-year age. While the record shows no critical defects, the lack of recent testing and the 2025 failed entry—unclear in context—merit a professional mechanical assessment before purchase.
