2007 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · HD07 AND

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, characterized by a cycle of failures immediately followed by passes. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, but this followed a failure just two days prior on 18 August 2025. This pattern of failing and then passing within a 48-hour window suggests that specific defects were identified and rectified immediately before the retest. This trend repeated in July 2024, where the vehicle failed on 25 July and passed on 26 July. The recorded mileage of 113,510 miles for a 2007 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,974 miles. This represents relatively low mileage for a vehicle of this age. While the MOT records do not provide specific mileage for each individual test date, the current data shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 test cycles. The lack of recorded mileage in the provided history prevents a precise calculation of annual distance traveled between specific intervals, but the overall figure remains low. Because the MOT records for 2023, 2024, and 2025 show failures without listed defect descriptions, the specific nature of the mechanical issues remains unknown. A physical inspection is required to determine why the vehicle failed in August 2025 and July 2024. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system, including discs and pads, as well as suspension components like bushes and coil springs, which are common points of failure. Given the vehicle's age, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and underside is also necessary to ensure long-term integrity. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
