2023 Audi A5 S Line 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 2.0L Petrol · FA62 TMA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-04-08 confirms it passed without any defects, which suggests a stable roadworthiness status at that point. With only a single MOT entry in the last four months, there is insufficient historical data to assess long-term trends in maintenance or recurring issues. The absence of advisories or failings in this test implies no immediate, testable failures were present at 39,679 miles, though this does not preclude undocumented wear or pre-existing conditions. The recorded mileage of 39,679 miles over approximately three years—roughly 13,226 miles annually—is significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age. Such mileage suggests consistent use, which may accelerate wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain synchronisers. The lack of earlier MOT records makes it impossible to determine whether this rate of accumulation has been maintained over time or if there were periods of lower or higher usage. Buyers should verify if the mileage has been accurately logged, as discrepancies could indicate tampering or underreporting. Given the sparse MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise critical wear items that are not testable during an MOT but are common at this mileage. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of coil springs, control arm bushes, and stabiliser links—for signs of excessive play or corrosion. The brake system warrants thorough examination, including disc thickness, caliper binding, and rotor warpage, as high mileage often correlates with uneven wear. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion at joints, and check the MHEV hybrid components for any fluid leaks or degraded wiring harnesses, as these are less frequently tested but critical for long-term reliability. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
