2021 Audi A5 Sport 35 TDI Mhev S-A 2.0L Diesel · RK71 MTO

This vehicle presents a consistent track record of roadworthiness with no recorded defects or advisories across its recent inspection history, including the most recent pass on 05 December 2025. The absence of any flagged issues in the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that the primary mechanical systems subject to MOT scrutiny have met the required standards without any noted deterioration in components such as braking systems, lighting, or structural integrity. The recorded mileage of 47,299 miles over approximately five years represents a typical usage pattern for a diesel-powered vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 9,460 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has likely been used for regular road journeys rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway commuting. From a mechanical standpoint, this steady usage profile typically implies a consistent level of wear on consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, rather than the accelerated wear associated with much higher mileage or the potential for seized components often seen with very low-use vehicles. Given the clean MOT history, there are no specific component failures or advisories to provide targeted warnings for. However, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the areas typically monitored during these tests. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces. The braking performance should be checked for any signs of pedal judder or pulling to one side, which could indicate uneven wear on the brake discs or binding calipers that may not have been significant enough to trigger an advisory in previous tests. Finally, ensure the vehicle's exhaust emissions and overall engine smoothness are monitored, particularly as diesel engines can develop carbon buildup if driven exclusively in low-speed urban environments. While the official records show no issues with oil misting or fluid leaks, a visual inspection of the engine bay for any signs of weeping around gaskets or seals is advisable. Checking the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the underside for any signs of early-stage corrosion on the subframe or exhaust system will complement the official DVSA data during your evaluation.
