2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · SE11 MAB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 September 2025 at 130,617 miles returned no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the car to a standard that prevents the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural degradation typically seen in Audis of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,330 miles per year over its life. Between the September 2021 test at 100,953 miles and the September 2025 test at 130,617 miles, the vehicle covered 29,664 miles at a steady rate of roughly 7,400 miles annually. This regularity indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary use, which often leads to ingress on drivetrain components and rubber-based seals. While the MOT record shows no recorded failures, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related wear. At 130,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or fatigue, as these often do not flag until they fail significantly. The brakes should be inspected for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the MOT test only identifies immediate safety failures. Given the age, verifying the absence of surface corrosion on structural points is necessary to ensure the chassis remains as sound as the records suggest.
