2016 Audi A5 S Line Black Edition+ TDI A 2.0L Diesel · LS16 VAJ

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT, conducted on 10 December 2025 at 84,212 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories, indicating the car met all roadworthiness standards at that time. Looking at the full timeline, the maintenance trend is stable, though a minor advisory in early 2024 reveals a brief lapse in tyre upkeep that was subsequently resolved. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 8,400 miles per year, which is typical for a 2016 diesel. The recorded intervals show consistent annual use without alarming gaps or sudden spikes. Between the February 2025 test at 77,006 miles and the December 2025 test at 84,212 miles, the car covered just over 7,200 miles in ten months. This suggests regular, steady driving rather than prolonged standing or aggressive high-mileage use. The only notable flag appeared in the 2 February 2024 test at 68,062 miles. The tester noted cuts on the rear tyre that were not deep enough to expose the ply or cords. While the car passed, the advisory indicates the previous owner ran the car on compromised rubber for a period. The defect did not reappear in the 2025 tests, implying the tyres were replaced. A buyer should still inspect the current tyre sidewalls for fresh damage, uneven tread wear, or mismatched brands, which could hint at suspension or alignment issues. Given the clean recent record, no major mechanical or structural faults are flagged, but a physical underbody check for corrosion on the subframe, suspension mounts, and exhaust remains prudent for a ten-year-old vehicle.
