Our Verdict
This Audi A5 is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a well-maintained executive coupe. With a clean MOT record over the last three years and consistent mileage, it represents a reliable choice in the premium diesel segment.
When viewing this A5, prioritise checking the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt changes, which are critical for the 2.0 TDI engine. Ensure all electronic features, including the MMI infotainment system and climate control, are fully functional as these can be costly to rectify.
Negotiate based on the upcoming 100,000-mile service interval. While the MOT history is clean, always perform a physical inspection of the tyres and suspension components, as these are common wear items for the A5 model according to aggregate data.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this A5 offers a good balance of power and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for motorway driving. Expect competitive fuel consumption figures, though diesel particulate filter (DPF) health is dependent on regular long-distance journeys rather than just short urban trips.
Annual running costs will include road tax, insurance in a relatively high group, and premium-brand servicing. Budgeting for a proactive maintenance fund is recommended given the vehicle's mileage to cover potential wear-and-tear items like brakes and suspension bushings.
While the MOT history shows no defects, perform a thorough visual check of the tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate tracking issues. Inspect the suspension arms for any signs of play or worn bushings, as these are frequent failure points for this model.
Check the bodywork for any signs of accident repair or rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills. Ensure the engine bay is clean and free of oil leaks, and verify that the car starts promptly without excessive smoke, which could indicate issues with the fuel injectors or turbocharger.
This 2016 Audi A5 in blue has demonstrated excellent reliability, passing its last four MOT tests with zero recorded defects. The vehicle has covered 93,871 miles, showing a steady usage pattern that aligns with its age. Its consistent maintenance history suggests it has been well-cared for by previous owners.
The Audi A5 generally performs well in MOT tests, though owners should remain vigilant regarding suspension and lighting components, which are common failure points across the model range.
