2012 Audi A5 S Line TDI 2.0L Diesel · OV61 YHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 113,177 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure in October 2025 at 113,041 miles. Given that the failure recorded no specific defects, this likely represents an administrative error or a re-test discrepancy rather than a mechanical failure, indicating the car currently meets minimum standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 98,517 miles in July 2022 to 113,177 miles in November 2025. This interval of roughly 15,000 miles over three years suggests regular use which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine components and preventing seals compared to long periods of standing stationary. The lack of significant gaps in mileage indicates the vehicle has remained in active use throughout the recorded testing period. While the MOT record is clean of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a high-mileage Audi TDI. At 113,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs often show signs of fatigue or cracking. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning and binding calipers, as the MOT does not measure brake pad thickness until they reach a legal limit. Checking the chassis for structural corrosion is also necessary given the vehicle's age, despite the record not flagging any integrity issues to date.
