2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · DC17 AAK

This Audi A5 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 85,867 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test four days prior on 8 August 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 59,669 miles in August 2022 to 85,867 miles by August 2025. This represents a steady increase of approximately 26,198 miles over three years, averaging roughly 8,733 miles per annum. There are no erratic spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or unusual wear patterns. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across five years of testing. The absence of recurring faults indicates a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by previous owners. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT does not always quantify. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables will naturally degrade given the 85,867 mile total. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean DVSA record.
