2010 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · JR10 KEY

This Audi A5 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 19 September 2025 at 220,533 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would warrant repeated attention. However, the most recent test occurred just under ten months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though slightly extended given the vehicle’s age and mileage. No evidence of structural corrosion, drivetrain faults, or emissions failures is present in the record, indicating the tester did not identify any major concerns during those inspections. The mileage progression reveals a consistent annual average of approximately 13,800 miles, which is higher than typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the November 2021 and November 2022 tests, the mileage increased by 7,897 miles—slightly more aggressive than the subsequent intervals. There are no gaps in testing that would imply neglect, but the steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been in regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern may accelerate wear on suspension components, brake systems, and fluid-based elements such as the transmission or cooling systems. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-mileage wear items, particularly the suspension—focusing on coil springs, bushes, and dampers for uneven wear or corrosion. The brake system, including calipers, discs, and pads, warrants close examination for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, particularly at joints and underbody mounts, as this age and mileage increase corrosion risk. Finally, fluid levels and condition in the engine, transmission, and cooling systems should be verified, as these are not routinely tested during MOTs but are critical for long-term reliability.
