2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · DV62 FPL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on February 13, 2026, at 135,801 miles. This result follows a period of consistent compliance where the car met all safety and emissions standards despite a single failure in early February 2024. The lack of advisories in the last three tests suggests that the previous owners were proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they escalated into MOT test failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per annum. There was a notable increase in activity between January 2023 and February 2024, where the car covered 1,365 miles in just thirteen months. However, the usage has since normalized, with 2,254 miles recorded between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,437 miles in the most recent year. This regular interval of use generally benefits the vehicle by preventing the seal degradation associated with long periods of standing. While the recent records are clean, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on components common to high-mileage Audi models of this era. Given the 135,000-mile mark, the suspension control arm bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished rubber or hairline fractures. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or excessive thinning, as the MOT test does not measure pad thickness beyond minimum limits. Checking the chassis for underbody corrosion is essential to ensure that the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean electronic history.
