2014 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · FV64 AEY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 160,818 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage is high for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 13,402 miles per year. The distance covered between the January 2023 test at 129,588 miles and the December 2025 test at 160,818 miles shows a steady accumulation of over 31,000 miles in nearly three years. The record shows a brief failure and immediate pass on 3 January 2024 at 141,410 miles, though the lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of long-term wear components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these frequently degrade on high-mileage Audi A5 models. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or binding calipers is positive, but the physical state of the brake pads should be verified given the total mileage. Attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills to ensure no corrosion has developed, as MOT testers sometimes overlook early-stage surface rust that does not yet constitute a failure. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is critical, as these are high-wear items that the MOT process does not specifically validate.
