2016 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · JO16 NDU

The vehicle maintains an exemplary roadworthiness record, characterized by a consistent trend of clean passes without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent MOT conducted on 15 May 2025 at 21,903 miles confirms that the car remains in a stable mechanical condition. The absence of even minor repair items across five consecutive annual inspections suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent maintenance and careful operation throughout its service life. The recorded mileage of 21,903 over a ten-year period indicates an average annual usage of approximately 2,190 miles, which is significantly lower than the national average. This pattern of light, intermittent use is reflected in the steady, incremental mileage accumulation observed between the 2021 test at 14,674 miles and the 2025 test. While low mileage often preserves drivetrain components, it can occasionally lead to the premature degradation of rubber seals, gaskets, and battery health due to prolonged periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from lack of use rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently experience binding calipers or seized sliding pins due to infrequent heavy braking. Inspect all visible suspension bushes and gaiters for perishing or cracking, as rubber components can deteriorate with age regardless of the distance covered. Confirm that the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking or flat-spotting from long-term storage, as these are the primary areas of concern for a vehicle with this specific usage profile.
