2010 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · RV10 ABX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2022-03-01 at 152,873 miles, recorded a PASS with no defects. Subsequent tests are absent, and the last recorded inspection predates the current date by over four years. The absence of recent data limits definitive assessment, but the final recorded test indicates no immediate roadworthiness concerns. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring issues flagged in the history, though the long gap since the last MOT raises questions about ongoing compliance and potential undetected deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 152,873 miles at 16 years old aligns with an average annual usage of ~9,555 miles, consistent with typical ownership patterns. The MOT history shows a PASS in 2021-09-14 (151,622 miles) and 2020-09-15 (148,862 miles), followed by a FAILED test on the same date and mileage, which may indicate a data entry error. No defects were recorded in any test, suggesting the owner maintained the vehicle to meet legal standards. However, the sparse record lacks detail on consumables or mechanical wear, leaving gaps in understanding long-term care. A buyer should prioritize a professional inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these issues often emerge without MOT failures. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, should be checked, as it can develop unnoticed. The absence of advisories in the MOT history is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded tests.
