Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
A primary concern is the 'Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction' failure recorded in June 2026. You must verify if the engine management light issue was properly diagnosed and rectified with more than just a code reset. Additionally, ensure the split offside front drive shaft CV boot has been replaced with a high-quality part, as a failure here can lead to more expensive drivetrain damage.
Given the high mileage of over 151,000 miles, you should request a detailed service history to see how the 2.0L diesel engine has been maintained. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the recent maintenance requirements and the fact that the vehicle has been driven much harder than the average Audi A5 in this dataset.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Audi A5 will likely sit in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be relatively efficient for long-distance cruising, but high mileage often leads to increased maintenance costs for suspension and drivetrain components.
Expect typical maintenance costs for a premium diesel of this age to be higher than a standard hatchback. You should budget for frequent servicing and potential repairs to components like the CV boots or tyres, which have already appeared in the MOT history.
Focus your inspection on the drivetrain and tyres. The MOT history specifically noted a split offside front drive shaft CV boot and both rear tyres being below the 1.6mm legal limit in June 2026. Check that the new tyres have sufficient tread and that the CV boot is secure and free of grease leaks.
Crucially, test the dashboard electronics to ensure the Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is fully functional and that no warning lights remain illuminated. Given the aggregate data for this model shows suspension arms as a top failure reason, perform a thorough test drive to listen for any knocks or rattles from the underside.
This 2017 Blue Audi A5 has covered 151,550 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,704 miles per year. While the vehicle passed its MOTs without defects between 2023 and 2025, the June 2026 test resulted in a failure involving engine management, drivetrain components, and tyres. The high mileage combined with recent mechanical failures makes this a high-risk proposition.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.9% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, suspension, and headlamps.
