2011 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · KV11 AHA

The 2011 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 184,124 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 15 August 2023 at 163,359 miles, which the tester logged with no defects recorded before the car passed three days later on 18 August 2023 at 163,490 miles, indicating a likely administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits high for a fifteen-year-old vehicle at 184,124 recorded miles, averaging roughly 12,275 miles per year. The record shows steady annual use: 151,959 miles in July 2022, 163,490 by August 2023, 174,236 in October 2024, and 184,124 by October 2025. A gap exists between the July 2022 and August 2023 tests spanning over thirteen months, yet the mileage rose about 11,500 in that window, consistent with normal commuting. The data is sparse but clean across five entries, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion ever noted. Given the high total mileage and the absence of flagged wear items in the official record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension components, brake discs, and coil springs, as consumable fatigue at this distance is probable even when unrecorded. The drivetrain and exhaust emissions systems warrant scrutiny for age-related degradation despite the clean MOT history. The August 2023 failure with no defects suggests the previous owner addressed whatever prompted the rejection promptly, reflecting reasonable responsiveness. No recurring faults emerge across the timeline, so the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern. Physical checks for structural rust and binding calipers remain sensible on any car of this age and distance.
