2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · SB12 ACO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-18 at 109,486 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-10-17 at 109,372 miles showed a failure, though no specific defects were noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues, but the latest pass indicates the car met roadworthiness standards at that time. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical faults identified across the recorded tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,486 miles at 14 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 7,820 miles, which is typical for its age. The MOT history shows gradual mileage increases, with gaps between tests ranging from 12 to 14 months. Notably, the 2024-10-11 test at 101,644 miles and the 2023-10-16 test at 97,785 miles indicate consistent usage, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into wear patterns. The absence of structural or safety-related issues in the records suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. Despite the clean MOT history, the buyer should verify the car’s condition in person, focusing on suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust emissions. The failure recorded on 2025-10-17, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of potential undetected issues. Additionally, the 14-month gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests raises questions about the vehicle’s maintenance consistency. A thorough inspection of wheel bearings, steering linkage, and corrosion in underbody areas is advisable to confirm the absence of hidden deterioration.
