2013 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · OV13 LDD

The 2013 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 28,906 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure logged on 2 September 2024 at 27,562 miles carried no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 28,906 miles against an August 2025 test, equating to roughly 2,224 miles per year over the car's thirteen years. The August 2023 test captured 25,958 miles and the September 2024 test 27,562 miles, a modest 1,604-mile gain in twelve months. The jump to 28,906 miles by August 2025 adds only 1,344 miles. Such low annual use points to light running or extended standing periods, with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps in the DVSA sequence. The clean advisory history suggests the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test rather than letting wear flag. A buyer should still confirm in person that the low mileage has not masked age-related degradation from standing. Check suspension bushes and front coil springs for perishing, and inspect brake discs for corrosion or lip wear given the limited use. Verify the exhaust emissions system remains sound and look beneath for structural rust on sills and subframes despite the clean record. The absent advisories across five tests mean no recurring mechanical faults demand correction. Treat the car as a low-use example where fluid changes, tyre sidewall condition, and brake binding from disuse warrant a physical check before purchase.
