2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · DF12 ACY

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 65,135 miles with zero defects. Conducted almost exactly one year ago relative to today, this flawless result indicates consistent mechanical reliability and diligent upkeep. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last five years demonstrates that the car has met stringent roadworthiness standards without requiring remedial work. The recorded mileage of 65,135 miles over fourteen years equates to an average of roughly 4,652 miles annually, which is exceptionally low for its age. The MOT history reveals a steady, gradual accumulation rather than erratic spikes. Between 16 August 2021 at 37,722 miles and 31 July 2025 at 65,135 miles, the car covered 27,413 miles over four years, averaging just under 6,854 miles per year. This pattern suggests light, regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, though the overall low mileage remains a defining characteristic of the vehicle's history. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential due to the vehicle's age and low-mileage profile. Components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers can deteriorate from standing or light use rather than wear and tear. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as low annual mileage often means tyres age out before they wear out. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the exhaust system for early signs of rust, as short trips can cause internal condensation and accelerate decay. The structural integrity of the underbody also warrants a thorough check to ensure no corrosion has taken hold during its years of light duty.
