2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · H21 CDS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 74,554 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all MOT standards. This follows a four-year period of clean results, suggesting that the current owner is proactively addressing issues before they result in test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between March 2020 at 38,315 miles and February 2026 at 74,554 miles, the car covered roughly 36,000 miles, reflecting steady, moderate use rather than the rapid wear and tear associated with high-mileage commuting or the degradation from long periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests have remained regular, which supports a routine approach to upkeep. The history does highlight specific areas of attention that require a physical inspection. The April 2021 test at 49,004 miles flagged all four tyres for perishing or uneven wear, while the failure in January 2022 at 56,871 miles identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring. Although these were resolved, a buyer should still inspect the suspension bushings for signs of tearing or uneven wear and check the current depth and condition of the tyres. Since there are no advisories for corrosion or brake components in recent records, the primary focus should remain on standard mechanical wear and consumable components.
