2016 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · GC16 LEF

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a string of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection on 30 December 2025 at 124,577 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep. This trend suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed issues before they escalated into failures, as the record shows no recurring faults or worsening patterns of wear across critical components. The mileage profile reflects high but consistent usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over the decade's life. Between January 2023 at 93,166 miles and December 2025 at 124,577 miles, the car covered over 31,000 miles. This rapid accumulation is typical for a vehicle that is used regularly for motorway driving, which often treats certain components better than short-distance urban trips. The intervals between tests remain regular, with the 2025 tests showing the vehicle covered 7,580 miles in a relatively short window. Despite the clean record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. At 124,577 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers often show signs of fatigue or oil leaks. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning and caliper binding, as high mileage places significant stress on the braking system. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, a close check of the chassis for corrosion remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed in the typical underbody areas.
