2010 Audi S5 4.2L Petrol · SP10 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on October 3 2025 at 106,307 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a failure just 14 miles prior on the same day. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue or a clerical error that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the overall history indicates a vehicle that avoids recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,644 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 85,678 miles in November 2022 to 106,307 miles in October 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to high-intensity use, which typically preserves the drivetrain components components and suspension bushings. However, the long intervals between tests also mean that age-related degradation of rubber components and seals remains a factor despite the low odometer reading. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for an Audi S5 of this generation. The buyer must check for developing corrosion on the lower suspension arches and sills, as the MOT does not flag surface rust until it becomes structural. One should also examine the condition of the brake calipers and discs for surface pitting, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized pistons or uneven wear. The clean history suggests a well-maintained example, but the age of the suspension control arm bushings requires close scrutiny to ensure the handling remains firm and free of knocks.
