2008 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · OY08 AEB

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 100,164 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed an initial test on the same day at 100,162 miles, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial fault. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,565 miles per year. The growth in mileage has remained consistent and low over the last four years, moving from 95,480 miles in December 2022 to 100,164 miles by December 2025. This indicates the car has likely spent long periods stationary or has been used for very short journeys, which can sometimes mask wear on rubber components or lead to battery degradation. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the last five tests. This lack of recorded defects suggests a high standard of preventative care or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perishing rubber seals, the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, and any signs of seizing in the brake calipers due to the low annual usage. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for underside corrosion is advised, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention the state of the structural integrity.
