Our Verdict

A sensible purchase for those seeking a

When inspecting this specific A5, pay close attention to the tyre condition; the MOT history shows failures and advisories regarding tread depth in 2023 and 2024. Ensure that all four tyres have ample tread and are of a reputable brand, as the previous records suggest a tendency for front tyres to wear prematurely.

Given the 1968cc diesel engine and the mileage approaching 100,000, you should request evidence of a consistent service history, particularly regarding timing belt and water pump intervals. Check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, which can sometimes be associated with high-mileage diesel engines of this era.

As a 2.0L diesel, this Audi A5 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its higher-than-average mileage. You should expect moderate fuel economy, typically suitable for motorway use.

Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 A5 vary depending on the specific trim, but buyers should budget for standard diesel maintenance costs. Given the model's aggregate data, expect occasional costs related to suspension components or lighting, which are common failure points for this model type.

Focus your inspection on the front tyres and wheel alignment; the MOT history explicitly notes failures for nearside and offside front tyre tread depth below 1.6mm in 2024, and wear on the edges in 2023. This could indicate an alignment issue that needs checking.

Additionally, keep an eye on the suspension and headlamps. While this specific vehicle has had no recent failures in these areas, the aggregate data for the Audi A5 shows suspension arms and headlamps as top MOT failure reasons. Test the suspension for knocks over bumps and ensure all lighting elements are functioning correctly.

This 2014 black Audi A5 with the 2.0L diesel engine has covered 98,024 miles as of its most recent MOT in June 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,737 miles per year, the vehicle has passed its last two MOT tests with no defects recorded. The history shows a pattern of tyre-related failures and advisories, but these appear to have been addressed.

Aggregate data for the Audi A5 shows an 83.8% MOT pass rate, with common issues typically involving tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
