2012 Audi A5 S Line TDI 2.0L Heavy oil · FM02 AFM

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 82,047 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of recorded failures suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed minor issues before they could escalate into advisories or test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle from 2012, averaging approximately 5,860 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, such as the 9,000-mile interval between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 7,237 miles between 2025 and early 2026. This low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the low usage on a fourteen-year-old car can sometimes mask age-related degradation of seals and hoses rather than mileage-related friction. While the MOT record is immaculate, a physical inspection should focus on the age-related condition of rubber components and fluids that stationary tests do not fully evaluate. Check for signs of cracking in tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, which can become brittle over time regardless of low mileage. Given the low usage, verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from rust on the rotors. Additionally, inspect the chassis for any structural corrosion to ensure the integrity remains as reported despite the vehicle's age.
