2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · RO62 ABZ

This Audi A5 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 16 December 2025 at 135,878 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a state of constant compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 9,706 miles per year. A review of the data shows a period of lower usage between December 2022 at 125,911 miles and December 2023 at 129,295 miles, where the car covered only 3,384 miles. Usage increased more significantly between December 2021 and December 2022, with 11,842 miles added. These fluctuations are minor and do not suggest any erratic usage patterns or long periods of stagnation that would typically compromise mechanical seals or battery health. The absence of any advisories over the last five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Usually, a 14 year old Audi would show signs of wear in the form of worn suspension bushes, thinning brake discs, or minor corrosion on the sills and subframes. The clean record suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where components were likely replaced before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure or advisory. A physical inspection should still focus on common age-related wear points that MOT testers sometimes overlook. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the timing chain or belt depending on the specific engine variant. While the record is clean, verifying the service history for evidence of fluid changes and drivetrain maintenance will confirm if the mechanical health matches the flawless MOT history.
