2013 Audi A5 4.2L Petrol · RF13 LFS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection on January 4 2024 at 61,709 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor presentation issue that was rectified quickly. Since 2019, the car has maintained a consistent record without recurring mechanical or structural failures across multiple testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 4,750 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between June 2019 at 34,942 miles and March 2021 at 55,498 miles, where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in under two years. Since then, usage has slowed considerably, with only 6,211 miles recorded over the last five years. This low annual mileage profile often leads to age-related degradation of perishables rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components that perish over time regardless of the low mileage. Check the suspension bushes, control arm ball, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or rot from long periods of standing. Given the infrequent use, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles are not driven regularly. Additionally verify the chassis for any early signs of structural rust, as the MOT history has not flagged any structural integrity issues to date.
