2021 Audi A5 Sport 35 TDI Mhev S-A 2.0L Diesel · MM21 RYU

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 02 September 2026 showing no recorded defects. The inspection history across the last three years indicates a stable mechanical profile, as the vehicle has successfully cleared all tests without any major failures or structural issues being flagged by the tester. While the 2025 test included a single advisory regarding a child seat obstructing a belt inspection, the subsequent 2026 result returned to a completely clean status, suggesting no emerging patterns of mechanical deterioration in the chassis or engine components. The recorded mileage of 46,334 miles over a five-year period represents a typical usage pattern for a modern diesel vehicle, averaging approximately 9,267 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for regular, moderate distance travel rather than being subjected to extreme high-speed motorway endurance or long periods of stationary storage. Mechanically, this mileage level means that while primary drivetrain components are unlikely to be at the end of their service life, consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will be approaching mid-life wear cycles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the areas mentioned in the previous advisory to ensure full access to the interior safety systems. Although the 2025 advisory was non-mechanical and related to the presence of a child seat preventing a full view of the adult seatbelt, it is prudent to verify that the belt tensioners and buckles operate smoothly and are free from any obstruction or fraying. Given the lack of any recorded defects regarding the braking system or suspension throughout the MOT history, a test drive should be used to confirm the absence of any subtle vibrations through the brake pedal or unexpected knocks from the suspension linkages that might not yet have reached the threshold of an official MOT advisory. Because the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any noted issues regarding oil misting, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the inspection should remain focused on verifying the current state of the consumables. Listen for any rhythmic clicking or unevenness in the drivetrain during low-speed manoeuvres and check that the steering remains centered and free of pull under braking. The absence of recorded defects in the structural or braking categories suggests that the vehicle has not faced significant issues with subframe integrity or brake pipe corrosion, which are common points of failure in similar age profiles.
