2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · JF05 LAF

The 2017 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 28 February 2026 at 121,851 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 21 September 2022 through to the current record passed without advisory or failure, showing the vehicle has avoided the recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues common on nine-year-old executive coupés. The odometer shows 121,851 miles against a nine-year lifespan, averaging 13,539 miles per year and placing this example in the high-use bracket for its class. The test on 20 March 2023 at 90,856 miles preceded a jump to 109,671 miles by 11 March 2024, an 18,815-mile year that outpaces the longer-term average. From the 2024 test to 8 March 2025 the car covered only 6,288 miles, then 5,892 miles to the February 2026 test, indicating the previous owner reduced usage sharply in the final two years. The clean record across all five entries means no consumable neglect or structural defects surfaced in the official data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and subframe for corrosion given the mileage and age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not certify component life remaining. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear from the high 2023 to 2024 accumulation, and the exhaust emissions should be reviewed despite passing within limits. Previous keepers clearly kept the car to test standard, but the drivetrain has absorbed above-average miles and merits a physical appraisal before purchase.
