2022 Audi A5 S Line 35 TDI Mhev S-A 2.0L Diesel · GL22 SXU

The 2022 Audi A5 S Line 35 TDI MHEV S-A presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 17 July 2025 at 44,407 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. This indicates the vehicle met all DVSA standards for brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, structural integrity, and lighting at that time. With only one recorded test in the history, there is no trend of recurring faults or worsening defects to analyse. The maintenance pattern appears stable, though the limited data makes it impossible to confirm long-term consistency. The recorded mileage of 44,407 miles over approximately four years equates to roughly 11,102 miles per year, which is typical for a diesel-powered executive coupe. The single MOT entry at 44,407 miles aligns with the current recorded mileage, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven very little or not at all in the period between the July 2025 test and today, 17 June 2026. No earlier MOT entries are available for this vehicle, which is expected given that cars under three years old are exempt from testing. The first MOT was therefore due in 2025, and the July 2025 test appears to have been that initial inspection. Despite the clean MOT result, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. The Audi A5 platform uses a multi-link suspension front and rear, and components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for wear, particularly if the car has spent extended periods stationary. The 35 TDI MHEV diesel unit incorporates a mild-hybrid system with a belt starter generator, so the exhaust emissions system, including the diesel particulate filter and selective catalytic reduction components, should be verified for proper function. Brake discs, pads, and calipers merit close attention, as binding calipers or uneven disc wear can develop even on low-mileage vehicles that sit unused. The S Line trim sits lower on stiffer suspension, which can accelerate wear on anti-roll bar links and track rod ends. A test drive should assess steering alignment, suspension noise, and any pulling under braking. The body and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as salt exposure during winter months can affect even newer vehicles. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners, including the spare if fitted, should be checked to confirm even wear patterns consistent with correct alignment and inflation. Given the clean MOT record, no immediate mechanical concerns are flagged, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains advisable for full confidence.
