Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to exceptionally high mileage for its age. While the vehicle has passed its recent MOT, the rapid accumulation of miles and previous failures suggest heavy usage that requires a thorough mechanical audit.
Your primary focus must be the service history. A vehicle covering roughly 23,000 miles per year is likely used for long-distance motorway commuting; ensure it has had oil changes at the manufacturer's recommended intervals, as neglecting these in a high-mileage TDI can lead to expensive engine issues.
Negotiate on the price to reflect the imminent need for maintenance. The most recent MOT failure was for worn brake pads on both the front and rear, and the previous failure involved sidewall damage to the front tyres. Check that these have been replaced with high-quality parts and not just 'patched up' to pass the test.
As a 2.0L TDI MHEV, this car is designed for efficiency, making it relatively economical for long-distance cruising. However, at this mileage, you should budget for more frequent replacement of consumables like suspension components, clutches, or even the timing belt/water pump.
Expect moderate insurance premiums typical for an Audi S Line trim and a standard tax band for a Euro 6 diesel. The estimated annual running cost will be higher than average due to the high frequency of servicing required for a vehicle with this usage profile.
Given the MOT history, pay close attention to the braking system. The failure in March 2026 for both front and rear brake pads being under 1.5mm suggests the pads were nearing the end of their life. Check the discs for scoring or uneven wear.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly. The 2025 failure for sidewall tearing indicates a risk of impact damage or poor maintenance. Check the tread depth and look for any bulging or cracking on the inner sidewalls. Finally, check the suspension bushings and dampers; a car covering 92,000 miles in four years will likely have significant wear on its undercarriage components.
This 2022 Audi A5 S Line is a high-mileage diesel example that has covered over 92,000 miles in less than four years. The MOT history reveals a pattern of maintenance neglect, specifically regarding tyres and brake pads, which have failed inspection recently. While the Euro 6 engine is efficient, the sheer distance covered in a short timeframe is a significant red flag for a premium vehicle.
No aggregate data is available for this specific 35 TDI MHEV variant, but high-mileage diesel Audis generally require strict adherence to service schedules to maintain reliability.
