Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Audi A5 passed its most recent MOT on 19 October 2022 at 90,231 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the point of its last official test. The record shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, and the vehicle has not been tested since, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified for over three and a half years as of July 2026. The mileage pattern reflects low annual use for an 18-year-old vehicle, with just 6,905 miles added between the October 2021 test at 83,326 miles and the October 2022 test at 90,231 miles, averaging under 7,000 miles per year overall. A notable gap exists between the failed test on 13 October 2022 at 90,071 miles and the pass six days later at 90,231 miles, though no defects were listed on either entry, suggesting the failure may relate to administrative or unrecorded minor matters rather than hard mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT record and low mileage, the previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current, but the extended absence of any test since late 2022 means wear from standing or light use is unknown. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or seizure, and check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes common to this age of Audi. Verify the actual odometer reading against the 90,231 figure and confirm the car has not been used untaxed or untested beyond legal limits. A fresh MOT and a mechanical inspection of drivetrain and emissions is advised before purchase.
