2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · OE13 AFY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-02 at 184,086 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The prior test in 2024-04-04 at 183,726 miles also passed without issues, confirming consistent compliance. However, the 2022-12-30 test at 168,897 miles resulted in a FAIL despite no defects being listed, suggesting a technical or procedural failure that may have been resolved by the 2023-01-06 PASS. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the last three tests implies no urgent risks, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 184,086 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 14,160 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps include a 1,400-mile increase between the 2023-01-06 test (169,262 miles) and the 2022-12-30 test (168,897 miles), which may reflect inconsistent recording or reduced usage. The 2021-12-14 test at 153,813 miles showed no defects, but the subsequent 14,449-mile jump to 168,897 miles by 2022-12-30 highlights rapid accumulation, increasing wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain parts. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess long-term wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The 2022 failure, though unexplained, may indicate issues with emissions systems or electrical components requiring further diagnosis. Structural rust is not mentioned in the records, but the vehicle’s age and mileage justify a thorough underbody inspection. No immediate safety risks are evident, but the high annual mileage and sporadic MOT outcomes suggest the need for a pre-purchase mechanical check to confirm the absence of latent mechanical or corrosion-related faults.
