2011 Audi A5 2.7L Diesel · FT11 ABO

The Audi A5 holds a valid roadworthy confirmation from its most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 89,433 miles, a pass sitting roughly seven months before the present review date. Across the supplied five-entry history the maintenance trend reads stable, with every annual examination either passing or failing without logged mechanical faults. The sequence shows a peculiar pattern in late November 2025: the car failed on 21 November at 89,381 miles and again on 27 November at 89,433 miles, each with no defects cited, before the clean pass one day later. At approximately fifteen years old the vehicle exhibits low mileage for its age, averaging under 6,000 miles per year. It recorded 81,820 miles on 20 November 2023, rose to 86,945 by 12 November 2024, and reached 89,433 by the November 2025 tests. That trajectory shows 5,125 miles covered in the first twelve-month span and only 2,488 in the next, a tapering of use. The dataset is sparse and free of advisories, yet the twin unexplained failures interrupt an otherwise unblemished chronology. No recurring suspension, brake, or structural issues appear in the official record, so the buyer faces no flagged ongoing mechanical trend. Still, the 2011 platform and low yearly running demand a hands-on check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for degradation through inactivity. The tester noted no corrosion, but structural integrity around sills and subframes should be visually confirmed given the vehicle's age. The November 2025 failures with zero defects warrant direct scrutiny of the DVSA certificate and any associated rejection notices. Previous ownership appears to have maintained basic test compliance, though the abrupt fail-pass cycle suggests either administrative anomaly or omitted fault reporting. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise verifying those entries alongside the routine checks above.
