Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage luxury tourer with a clean history. This Audi A5 presents as an example, having seen significantly less use than the average suggests.
The primary advantage of this car is its low mileage, which is well below the average for its age. However, low-mileage cars can sit for long periods; ensure you verify that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the interval, regardless of mileage. Check for a full service history to ensure the oil changes have been performed regularly, as these engines are sensitive to maintenance.
Pay attention to the tyres. Recent MOT advisories show a pattern of tyres worn on the edges or perishing, which could indicate alignment issues or simply age-related rubber degradation. Negotiate based on the fact that the 2025 MOT already noted thin front brake pads and a worn front tyre requiring attention.
As a 2.0L petrol Audi, you can expect a moderate fuel economy, likely around 30-35 MPG depending on driving style. Tax is based on the specific Euro standard, and insurance typically falls into a mid-to-high group given the premium brand status.
Maintenance costs for Audis are higher than for a standard hatchback, but with such low mileage, you should face fewer frequent repairs. Estimate your annual running costs including fuel and basic servicing at approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Focus specifically on the suspension and tyres. The MOT history shows multiple advisories for tyres worn on the edges (2020, 2023, 2025), which suggests the car may need a professional alignment or that suspension bushings are worn. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear and cracking, as noted in the 2023 MOT record.
Also check the braking system, as the 2025 MOT flagged thin front brake pads. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect for any signs of oil leaks around the engine or degradation of rubber components, which can be common on older German luxury cars if they haven't been used frequently.
This 2011 Audi A5 is a rare find, having covered only 58,160 miles over its 15-year life. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with only one minor failure for a headlamp aim issue in 2016. The 2.0-litre petrol engine offers a balanced mix of performance and refinement, while the low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear remains.
The 2.0 TFSI petrol Audi A5 is generally robust, provided the timing belt intervals are strictly followed to avoid engine failure.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Excessive Oil Consumption (EA888 Gen 2)Serious
Early EA888 2.0 TFSI engines (2008-2012) can consume oil heavily because of piston-ring wear. A proper fix requires updated pistons and connecting rods (Stage 2 fix).
- Timing Chain Tensioner FailureSerious
Early petrol cars can suffer timing-chain tensioner failure, often announced by cold-start rattle before the chain slips and causes major engine damage.
- Multitronic CVT FailureSerious
Front-wheel-drive automatic cars use the Multitronic CVT, which can judder, flare, or lose drive if fluid changes were skipped or the gearbox ECU starts to fail.
