2009 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · OE09 MMU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is in question, as the MOT record demonstrates a clear deterioration in mechanical condition over the last two years. The most recent test on 2026-02-24 was passed at 180,678 miles, but this condition has since worsened significantly. The 2026-02-17 test failed shortly after, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained for over two years, which is a critical risk factor for structural integrity. This pattern of failure and poor condition suggests that the owner has likely skipped the mandatory MOTs entirely, allowing wear to accumulate rapidly. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 10,628 miles per year, which is consistent with its age. However, the data shows a distinct gap between the most recent test and the previous failure, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation. The 2026-02-24 test at 180,678 miles was passed, but the 2026-02-17 failure at 180,495 miles indicates that the vehicle has only been driven for roughly two years. While the mileage itself does not show alarming spikes, the lack of maintenance records during these two years creates a significant risk of failure. The vehicle has not been maintained for over two years, which is a critical risk factor for structural integrity. For the buyer, the primary concern is the history of suspension and brake issues. The 2025-02-27 test flagged a ball joint in the offside front upper suspension that was excessively worn, and the 2026-02-17 test flagged a worn down rear brake pad. These recurring faults indicate that the mechanical system is not in good condition and has not been inspected for wear. Buyers should inspect the suspension components (such as ball joints and bushings) and the brake discs and pads for corrosion or binding. Additionally, the 2026-02-24 test passed at 180,678 miles, but the 2026-02-17 test failed at 180,495 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has not been maintained for over two years. This gap in records is the most significant risk factor, as it implies that the owner has likely skipped the mandatory MOTs entirely.
