2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · PE12 YSS

The 2012 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 April 2025 at 182,485 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after the only failure in the dataset. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the last three years. Mileage sits high for a 14-year-old car at 182,485, averaging roughly 13,035 per year. The records show steady annual use: 138,660 miles on 25 March 2022, 155,283 on 29 March 2023, 173,092 on 9 April 2024, and 182,485 on 19 April 2025. No standing gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the DVSA entries are sparse but uniformly clean after the 2023 failure. The single failure on 28 March 2023 at 155,270 miles listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault, with a pass confirmed the next day at 155,283 miles. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems were flagged in any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear given the high mileage. Prior owners kept MOT defects absent, yet testers issued no advisories either, so tyre tread depth, binding calipers, and underbody rust remain unverified by the record and need physical checks before purchase.
