2017 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · DC66 GYO

The Audi A5 presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 30 March 2026 at 69,799 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across its recorded history. The DVSA record shows no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage. A failed test on 28 March 2026 at the same mileage was logged with no defects recorded, followed two days later by a clean pass, suggesting an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,755 miles per year against the car's 2017 build, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The records show 26,715 miles in March 2023, 35,398 in March 2024, 51,704 in March 2025, and 69,799 by March 2026. The jump of over 18,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests is the largest single-year increase, yet still within normal used-car parameters. The clean sheet at every examination indicates the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items in order. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five tests, the underlying mechanical condition appears sound. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the rear brake calipers for binding, as these items escape MOT detection when within tolerance but degrade with use. Given the sparse but clean record, verify the 28 March 2026 failure reason with the test station, since a no-defect fail is unusual. Confirm service history aligns with the mileage steps, particularly the heavier 2025 to 2026 period, to validate drivetrain care.
