2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · R27 JBH

The vehicle presents a consistent history of roadworthiness over the last four years. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 132,208 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one mile prior on the same day. This specific sequence suggests a minor component issue, likely a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since the November 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories, indicating that the structural integrity and primary mechanical systems have remained within acceptable parameters. At 132,208 miles, the Audi has averaged approximately 10,170 miles per year since its registration, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is steady, with intervals of roughly 6,000 to 9,000 miles between annual tests. This regular use pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized brake components or perished rubber. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests is notable, as it implies the previous owners were proactive in addressing wear such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust corrosion before they reached a failure threshold. While the MOT record is clean, the buyer should still focus on high-mileage components that are not fully tested during the annual inspection. Given the mileage, an inspection of the suspension geometry and control arm joints is vital, as these often show signs of fatigue or degradation at this stage. The record does not show any historical binding calipers or uneven pad wear, but a physical check of the brake discs and the undercarriage remains necessary to ensure there are no hidden leaks or deep-seated structural damage. The data indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies legal safety requirements without recurring failure.
