2009 Audi A5 2.7L Diesel · RO09 FLF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 17 July 2025 at 180,106 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car met all legal standards at that time. This suggests the previous owner maintained a proactive approach to essential repairs, avoiding the mechanical failures that often plague high-mileage vehicles. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. Between August 2019 and July 2025, the car covered 18,522 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without significant gaps or neglect. A notable jump occurred between August 2021 and June 2023, where 2,861 miles were covered, which aligns well with typical annual commuting cycles. The lack of any recorded failures across these five tests indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress or long periods of standing. While the digital record shows a clean history of passes, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear components common to the Audi A5 of this age and mileage. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade after 150,000 miles. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and brake caliper seals is necessary, as the MOT tester only identifies visible failures or leaks. Testing the structural integrity of the exhaust system is also vital to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last inspection.
