Our Verdict
A reasonable option for a high-mileage diesel driver, provided you are comfortable with its recent maintenance pattern. The recent MOT history shows a vehicle that passes after minor interventions, suggesting it is being monitored.
When viewing this specific PN13GXT, check the service history to see if the 100,000-mile major service interval was met, as this is a critical milestone for the 2.0L TDI engine. Given the recent MOT failures in 2024 and 2025, ask the seller for specific receipts regarding what was repaired to secure those passes.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 109,000 miles, this car has been driven much more intensively than the typical Audi A5 in this dataset. Ensure you verify the timing belt and water pump replacement history, as these are vital for long-term reliability on this engine variant.
As a 2.0L diesel, this A5 is designed for efficient motorway cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its high annual mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel Audi of this era.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific CO2 rating and insurance group, but as a 2013 model, it should fall into a standard bracket. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regularly, particularly for consumables like tyres and brakes, which are common failure points for this model aggregate.
Pay close attention to the tyres and brake pads, as these are noted as top MOT failure reasons for the Audi A5 model aggregate. Given the two recent MOT failures (in December 2024 and December 2025), inspect the suspension components and arms for any signs of play or wear.
Additionally, check the condition of the white paintwork for any signs of previous repairs and inspect the diesel engine for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, which can be common as these engines approach the 110,000-mile mark.
This 2013 white Audi A5 features a 1968cc diesel engine and has covered 109,282 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,766 miles per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing schedule. The MOT records show two failures in the last three years, both occurring just days before a successful pass.
The Audi A5 shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.9% across the dataset, with common issues typically involving tyres, brakes, and suspension.
