2022 Audi A5 S Line 40 TDI Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Diesel · GL22 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the two available MOT records. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 40,188 miles resulted in a pass with no mechanical failures, although the tester noted a nearside rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This suggests that the primary safety systems remain in functional order, following a clean pass in May 2025 which showed no defects whatsoever. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles annually. Between the 2025 test at 32,219 miles and the 2026 test at 40,188 miles, the car covered 7,969 miles. This interval indicates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for maintaining components like brake calipers and engine seals to prevent degradation. Since the MOT history lacks recorded advisories or recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear on consumables that are not covered by the annual test. A buyer should check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, and inspect the suspension bushes for signs of tearing. Given the obstruction noted in the latest test, verifying the full functionality and tension of the rear adult seat belt is a necessary step to ensure complete safety compliance.
