2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · T8 MEH

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 71,687 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged perishing or cracking across all tyres. This indicates that while the mechanical components remain functional, the rubber-based consumables are reaching the end of their operational life through age rather than wear, a common trait in low-use vehicles. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,687 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows very consistent usage patterns, with only 441 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and roughly 900 miles in the year prior. This low-intensity usage suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have seen minimal mechanical stress, but it increases the likelihood of dry rot in seals and brake fluid degradation if the car has sat for long periods between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre set, as the 2025 advisory regarding perishing suggests they require immediate replacement to ensure safety. The 2024 failure for a nail in the nearside rear tyre was an isolated incident, but it highlights the need to monitor wheel pressure consistency. Given the lack of recorded defects between 2021 and 2023, the structural integrity should be checked for surface corrosion on the sills and suspension mounts, which can often go unnoticed on older Audis regardless of the low mileage.
