2011 Audi S5 4.2L Petrol · G2 SEC

The 2011 Audi S5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 3 February 2026 at 92,889 miles which recorded no defects. The four preceding annual tests passed cleanly with zero advisories, showing no worsening mechanical condition across the five-year record. Annual mileage averages near 6,200 miles, consistent with typical use for a fifteen-year-old performance car. The tester logged 81,638 miles on 22 February 2022, rising to 85,220 by 24 February 2023, 87,201 on 29 January 2024, 89,584 on 29 January 2025, and 92,889 on 3 February 2026. The gaps between tests are tight and the accumulation is steady, with no dormant periods or sudden high-use spikes visible in the data. The absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion across all five tests suggests the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a reasonable standard. A clean sheet on a 2011 S5 at this age is uncommon and implies consumables were replaced before they triggered warnings. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the quattro drivetrain, subframe mounting points, and underbody for hidden corrosion not captured in the MOT lane. Verify service history for timing chain tensioner wear and differential oil changes, as these are age-related risks the MOT does not assess.
