2023 Audi A5 S Line 45 Tfsi Mhev Quat SA 2.0L Petrol · MK23 DVM

A clean MOT record to date indicates that, across the five tests logged for this three‑year‑old Audi A5 S line, no defects have been recorded, and the most recent test on 2 March 2026 confirmed a pass with no advisory items. This uninterrupted pass history points to an absence of documented failures or recurring issues up to the latest inspection. At 39,609 miles the vehicle averages roughly 13,200 miles per annum, a mileage rate that sits above the typical UK average for a three‑year‑old executive saloon. The higher annual accumulation suggests that wear‑related components such as brake pads, discs, tyre tread, and suspension bushings will have been exercised more intensively than on a lower‑mileage counterpart, and that consumables may be approaching the end of their service intervals. No gaps in MOT testing are evident, so the mileage progression appears consistent with regular usage rather than prolonged storage. Although the MOT history contains no specific failures, a prospective buyer should still scrutinise the areas most likely to exhibit wear at this mileage. During a test drive listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could signal deteriorating front or rear suspension bushes, and feel for any steering pull or vague vibration that might hint at tyre imbalance or worn steering components. Apply the brakes firmly and note any pulsation, excessive pedal travel, or squealing, which would warrant a closer inspection of pads, discs and caliper operation. Check for any visible oil leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle, as even minor seepage can become problematic if left unchecked. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified technician is advisable to confirm the condition of brake wear items, tyre depth and uniformity, and the integrity of suspension linkages and bushings. Verifying that the service intervals for oil changes, coolant and other fluids have been observed will complement the MOT data and provide a clearer picture of the car’s mechanical health before final commitment.
