2009 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · LR09 XON

The 2009 Audi A5 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with its most recent test on 27 September 2021 at 115,063 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available entries, indicating the vehicle was presented for testing in a condition acceptable to DVSA standards at each interval. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,768 miles per year against the recorded 115,063 miles. The records show a jump from 86,000 miles in April 2019 to 107,125 miles by April 2020, equating to over 21,000 miles in that single year, before a slower period to the 2021 test. A notable anomaly appears on 14 February 2018 where the tester issued both a fail and a pass on the same day at 77,666 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or procedural correction rather than a genuine mechanical concern. Given the clean MOT history with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection before purchase. Standing time since the September 2021 test means approximately five years have elapsed without a recorded test, raising the risk of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, or seized calipers from disuse. The absence of advisories across the record implies previous owners maintained basic test compliance, though the sparse entries limit insight into consumable wear between tests. A pre-purchase check should prioritise underbody structural integrity, fluid condition, and brake binding given the extended dormancy since the last MOT.
