2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · DF12 ABN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 March 2026 at 119,410 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sheet across five consecutive tests dating back to 2022 indicates that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed potential mechanical issues before they could trigger a failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 80,444 miles and the 2026 test at 119,410 miles, the car covered 38,966 miles at a steady rate of roughly 9,700 miles annually. This predictable usage pattern avoids the mechanical degradation often associated with long periods of standing while also bypassing the accelerated component wear found on high-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record shows no failures, a buyer must still focus on high-wear components typical for an Audi of this age. A physical inspection should verify the condition of the control arm bushes and suspension mounts, as these often perish around 100,000 miles. The brake discs should be checked for thinning and the calipers for binding, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than surface condition. Given the age, checking the chassis for corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
