2009 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · MW09 AAZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-03-25 at 127,151 miles, but a failed test just seven days prior on 2026-03-18 at identical mileage suggests an inconsistency in the records. No defects were recorded in either test, which is unusual given the repeated failures. The prior MOT on 2025-03-13 showed a pass at 116,728 miles, followed by an identical failure on the same date, indicating potential administrative errors or unresolved issues. The 2024-03-20 pass at 105,951 miles showed no defects, but the lack of detailed findings limits insight into the car’s mechanical state. Overall, the maintenance trend remains unclear due to conflicting results and minimal technical data. The vehicle’s mileage of 127,151 miles at 17 years old aligns with an average of 7,479 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. Notable gaps exist between the 2024-03-20 test and the 2025-03-13 tests, spanning 11 months, which may suggest periods of reduced use or missed inspections. The rapid accumulation of 10,423 miles between 2024-03-20 and 2025-03-13 could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. However, the absence of recorded defects in most tests implies the owner prioritized basic compliance over detailed maintenance, leaving potential issues unaddressed. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older Audis, and check for corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system. The failed MOTs, though unexplained, warrant scrutiny of the brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear. Structural integrity should be verified through a visual check for rust or damage, particularly around the chassis. Given the lack of detailed MOT findings, a professional inspection is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical soundness beyond the recorded data.
