2007 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · MH06 BAD

The vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes between February 2022 and January 2026. The most recent inspection on 31 January 2026 at 174,235 miles recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating that the current owner has maintained the mechanical systems to a high standard. This consistent record of defect-free tests suggests a proactive approach to servicing and a lack of neglected wear items. The annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year over the last four years. This steady usage pattern indicates that the vehicle has been kept in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often leads to seized calipers, perished rubber components, or fuel system degradation. The total recorded mileage of 174,235 miles is appropriate for a nineteen-year-old Audi, reflecting a well-used but well-cared-for machine. Despite the clean MOT history, prospective buyers must perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and drivetrain components. While the testers found no issues, the high mileage necessitates a close examination of the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or recent replacement. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns that might not trigger an MOT failure but could indicate a sticking caliper. Inspect the engine bay for signs of oil leaks around the rocker cover or turbocharger seals, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Audi engines that do not always appear on a standard emissions-focused MOT test.
