Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers se
When inspecting this specific 2.0L diesel Audi, focus on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been addressed, as these are critical for this engine type. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still check for any signs of oil leaks or coolant loss which may not trigger an MOT failure but are common in higher-mileage diesel engines.
Negotiate based on the service intervals; even though the MOT history is clean, a diesel engine of this age benefits significantly from regular oil changes. Check the condition of the tyres and suspension components, as these are the most frequent failure points for the Audi A5 model across the wider dataset.
As a 2.0L diesel, this A5 is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely offering competitive fuel economy compared to petrol equivalents. Tax and insurance costs will depend on the specific insurance group, which for a 2016 A5 typically sits in a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs for Audi vehicles tend to be higher than mainstream brands due to the requirement for specialist parts and diagnostic equipment. Expect typical maintenance costs to include periodic brake replacements and tyre changes, which are common wear items for this model.
Given that the aggregate data for this model identifies tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps as the most common MOT failure reasons, you should pay close attention to these areas. Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and check the suspension for any excessive play or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, check the operation of the headlamp units to ensure there is no condensation or electrical faulting. While this specific vehicle has had no recorded defects, these are the areas most likely to require attention as the mileage increases toward the 60,000-mile mark.
This 2016 white Audi A5 features a 1968cc diesel engine and has covered 55,962 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2025. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,737 miles per year, but it has maintained a perfect pass record with zero defects or advisories since its first recorded test in 2021. It represents a consistent example of this model within the current used market.
The Audi A5 shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.8% across 131,182 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to tyres and suspension.
