2009 Audi A5 Sport TDI 2.0L Diesel · SL59 XOB

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of mechanical inconsistency. The most recent MOT test conducted on October 2024 at 145,693 miles yielded a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed or resolved. This clean result follows a difficult period in 2022 where the car failed two consecutive tests, but the current trend suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard in recent months. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the testing history between the December 2019 test and the February 2022 test, during which only about 9,000 miles were recorded. However, between March 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered over 12,500 miles, showing a return to more regular usage. The relatively low annual mileage for an Audi of this age typically limits wear on the drivetrain and interior components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components that likely contributed to the 2022 failures, as the specific reasons for those failures are not detailed in the summary record. Check for excessive play in control arm bushes and perished coil springs, which are common failure points on this chassis at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the recent MOT passes.
