2018 Audi A5 1.4L Petrol · SA05 ACA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on July 4, 2022 at 58,777 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle maintained a high standard of operation up to that point, with no immediate mechanical failures or structural weaknesses identified by the DVSA tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for its age, averaging approximately 7,347 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 34,425 miles and the July 2022 test at 58,777 miles, the vehicle covered 24,352 miles in a single year. This represents a period of high usage compared to the overall average, yet the lack of recorded faults during that interval suggests the vehicle was well-maintained enough to handle the increased load without significant component failure. Since the record shows no recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to age-related wear that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should inspect the suspension for perished control arm bushes and dampers, as these often degrade over eight years regardless of mileage. Given the gap in records since 2022, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyre sidewalls for cracking is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing.
