2016 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · HU04 GAR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT pass results. The most recent test conducted on 30 April 2025 at 70,021 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained clean record across the last five years suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle proactively, preventing the common mechanical and structural failures that typically appear on cars of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2021 test at 39,018 miles and the April 2025 test at 70,021 miles, the vehicle covered 31,003 miles, indicating a steady usage rate rather than long periods of stagnation. This low mileage generally benefits the drivetrain components and suspension from reduced wear compared to high-mileage counterparts. The intervals between tests remain regular, showing the car has not been left without professional safety-related checks for extended periods. While the digital record shows no structural rust, brake issues, or suspension failures, a physical inspection should focus on rubber components that are not covered by the MOT test. Given the ten-year age and relatively low mileage, control arm bushings and tyre sidewalls show signs of cracking or perish despite the low distance. Buyers should also check the brake discs for surface pitting, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from oxidation if not driven frequently. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the vehicle is likely in good mechanical condition, but verifying the state of fluid levels and leaks remains a necessary step for a final purchase assessment.
