2018 Audi A5 3.0L Petrol · MM18 ACY

The 2026‑02‑21 MOT at 55,042 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test and indicating a stable maintenance trend with no recurring failures noted since the previous examination. The mileage trajectory shows a clear acceleration between 2023 and 2025, rising from 25,917 miles in May 2023 to 44,300 miles by February 2025, a gain of 18,383 miles in just under two years, or roughly 9,200 miles per year, which exceeds the average 6,880 miles per year expected for an eight‑year‑old Audi A5; earlier periods were more gradual, with the 2021‑2022 interval adding only 5,967 miles over 11 months. Recurring issues are limited to the near‑side and off‑side wiper blades flagged in the 2022 test and the front brake disc noted as worn, pitted or scored in the 2023 test, both of which are consumable items rather than structural concerns. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring, rust or binding, check the condition of the tyres and structural areas for corrosion, and verify that the recent MOT findings have not been compromised since the last test.
