2017 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · JJ55 SEN

The vehicle currently holds a failed MOT status as of 11 April 2026 at 60,297 miles. While the preceding four years of testing resulted in clean passes with no recorded defects or advisories, the most recent failure indicates an immediate roadworthiness issue. Because the record provides no specific failure items for this latest test, the vehicle cannot be considered compliant for public road use until a retest confirms that all mechanical and safety systems meet current standards. The total recorded mileage of 60,297 miles over nine years averages approximately 6,700 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The history shows a consistent, moderate accumulation of miles between 2022 and 2026, with the annual distance covered remaining stable. The absence of advisories during the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle was maintained to a high standard during that period, though the sudden failure in 2026 marks a departure from this trend. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and tyre condition, as these are common failure points for an Audi A5 reaching this age and mileage. Given the lack of descriptive data in the recent failure report, you must verify whether the issue relates to a simple consumable item like a worn tyre or a more complex mechanical failure such as a seized brake caliper or a damaged suspension bush. Inspect the underside for signs of corrosion or oil leaks that may have developed since the last successful test. Confirming the reason for the 2026 failure is essential before proceeding with any purchase, as it represents the only break in an otherwise clean maintenance history.
