2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · SM12 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 22 January 2026 at 111,603 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at the same mileage. This suggests a minor, easily rectified issue, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was addressed immediately by the owner rather than a significant mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern remains remarkably consistent with typical annual usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 95,641 miles and February 2025 at 106,149 miles, the car covered 10,508 miles, indicating steady use. The subsequent 5,454 miles recorded in the final year leading to the January 2026 test confirm regular operation, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with long periods of standing. While the digital MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for high-mileage Audi models of this era. Given the 111,000-mile mark, the buyer should verify the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, which often perish at this interval. They should also check the brake discs for uneven wear and inspect for underside corrosion on the subframe, as the MOT test does not always capture early-stage structural oxidation between tests.
