2018 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · FO10 ENG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT test conducted on 28 May 2025 at 123,014 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car is currently meeting the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have maintained a consistent operational standard without recurring failures. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,400 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in activity between February 2022 at 92,467 miles and January 2023 at 114,965 miles, representing over 22,000 miles driven in under a year. However, the usage has moderated since, with 4,216 miles recorded between the July 2023 and May 2025 tests. This consistent high mileage typically places accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to average examples. While the recent records are clean of advisories, the failure on 23 January 2023 at 114,964 miles—followed immediately by a pass the following day—suggests a specific defect was rectified quickly. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the front control arm bushes and shock absorbers, which often fatigue under heavy annual use. The buyer should also check for signs of thinning brake discs and uneven wear on the calipers, as these components are primary points of failure on high-mileage German vehicles.
