2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · J28 VEY

The 2013 Audi A5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-05 at 108,889 miles. The prior three annual tests from 2024 to 2023 also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern. A single failed test on 2022-08-12 at 95,755 miles is recorded, though no defects were listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor technical glitch. Overall, the vehicle’s mechanical state appears well-maintained, with no recurring faults or escalating concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,376 miles annually. Tests spaced exactly one year apart from 2022 to 2024 show steady mileage growth, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity indicated. The 2022-08-12 test at 95,755 miles, coinciding with a failed result, lacks explanatory details, but the subsequent 2023-08-12 test at 99,193 miles showed no issues. This suggests the failure was likely an anomaly rather than a systemic problem. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, as no corrosion or frame damage was noted in the records, but this remains a risk for older models. Inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time. While no brake-related issues were flagged, a visual check of calipers and discs is advisable. The absence of exhaust emissions data in the MOT history means a professional inspection of the catalytic converter and emissions system is recommended to confirm compliance.
