2010 Audi S5 4.2L Petrol · SP10 ACY

The 2010 Audi S5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, recorded on 2025-09-24 at 66,392 miles, which passed with no defects. The prior test on 2024-10-03 at 66,337 miles also passed, though an earlier failure on 2024-10-02 at the same mileage suggests an unresolved issue. While the failure did not specify defects, the subsequent pass implies corrective action was taken. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, and the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards over the past three years. The car’s mileage of 66,392 miles at 16 years old equates to approximately 4,150 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate wear on components like the engine, transmission, and suspension if not regularly exercised. The MOT history shows minimal gaps, with tests conducted every 12–18 months, but the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential hidden issues. The 2023-06-12 test at 64,269 miles and 2022-11-02 test at 63,941 miles both passed without notes, suggesting consistent maintenance. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear. The failed 2024 MOT, though unspecified, warrants scrutiny of the braking system and exhaust emissions. Corrosion risks, especially in the underbody and chassis, should be checked, as prolonged inactivity can exacerbate rust. No advisories on tyres or wiper blades are recorded, but the vehicle’s age necessitates a thorough evaluation of fluid levels, battery condition, and steering components to confirm its mechanical integrity.
