Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
Prioritise verifying the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for this 1984cc diesel engine at this mileage. Given the 2023 MOT failure regarding incorrectly mounted brake pads, ensure that all braking components have been professionally serviced and are functioning correctly.
Negotiate the price based on the vehicle's age and the fact that its mileage is significantly higher than the model average. Ensure the seller can provide documentation for the repairs carried out following the October 2023 failure to confirm the safety issues were fully resolved.
As a 2.0L diesel, this A5 offers a balance of motorway efficiency and power, though fuel economy will be impacted by the vehicle's age and high mileage. Tax and insurance will be based on 2009 specifications, typically placing it in a mid-range bracket for executive coupes.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the 147,366-mile odometer reading. Expect increased expenditure on wear-and-tear items such as suspension components and braking systems to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Carefully inspect all four tyres; the MOT history shows a tear on the nearside front in 2023 and a damaged offside rear tyre advisory in 2024. Pay close attention to the braking system, specifically the rear pads, referencing the 2023 failure where pads were found to be incorrectly mounted to the back plate.
Additionally, check the suspension arms for wear or play, as these are noted as a top failure reason across the wider A5 model population. A physical inspection of the silver paintwork for age-related deterioration is also recommended.
This silver 2009 Audi A5 diesel has recorded 147,366 miles as of October 2025. The MOT history shows a recent pass with no defects, though it was marked by a failure in 2023 involving tyre damage and brake pad mounting issues. It represents a high-mileage example of this model with a mixed recent testing record.
The Audi A5 has an average MOT pass rate of 83.9%, with common failure points typically involving tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
