Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When inspecting this specific 2.0L diesel A5, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, you should check for evidence of regular oil changes, which are critical for the longevity of the 1968cc engine.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the record is clean, the vehicle has covered more than the typical 7,775 miles per year seen in the wider model data. Ask for proof of any recent major service intervals or cambelt changes that may be due around the 75,000-mile mark.
As a 2.0L diesel, this A5 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though fuel costs will depend heavily on annual mileage. Tax bands and insurance groups for this 2015 model vary based on specific trim levels, so obtain a quote using the registration SW65ASU before committing.
Maintenance costs should be typical for a premium German marque. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, be prepared for standard wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brake pads, which are noted as common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.
Given the model aggregate data, pay close attention to the suspension components and tyres. Although this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures for defects, the wider Audi A5 population frequently fails on suspension arms and tyre condition, so inspect these closely for wear or play.
Additionally, check the condition of the brake pads and discs. Since brakes are a top failure reason for this model, ensuring they have significant life remaining will help avoid immediate post-purchase costs.
This 2015 Audi A5, finished in Grey, has covered 75,361 miles since its first registration in October 2015. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of annual MOT passes from 2021 through 2025, with no recorded defects or failures in that period. Its mileage profile appears to be slightly higher than the aggregate model average of 7,775 miles per year, but the documentation is remarkably clean.
The aggregate data for this model shows an 83.9% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to suspension, tyres, and brakes.
