2007 Audi A5 3.0L Diesel · RO57 VLU

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-29 recorded a pass at 154,805 miles, but two days earlier, an MOT on 2025-10-27 showed a failure at the same mileage. This rapid alternation between pass and fail without recorded defects suggests an inconsistent or potentially unreliable MOT outcome. The pattern repeats in 2024, where a pass on 2024-10-25 (149,568 miles) was followed by a failure the day before with identical mileage. A similar cycle occurred in 2023, with a pass on 2023-10-16 (146,002 miles) and a failure the prior day. The vehicle’s mileage of 154,805 miles at 19 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 8,148 miles, which is typical for its age. This suggests neither extreme under-use nor heavy wear from excessive driving. However, the lack of defects in all MOT records complicates interpretation—failures may stem from procedural errors, minor technicalities, or unrecorded issues. The absence of documented defects limits the ability to assess specific risks, but the recurring pass/fail pattern raises concerns about the vehicle’s reliability. The trend shows no clear worsening or improvement in the vehicle’s condition, as all MOTs report no defects. However, the frequent failures without explanation indicate potential instability in the vehicle’s systems or inconsistencies in testing.
