2017 Audi A5 S Line TDI Quattro S-A 3.0L Diesel · TIG 1576

The 2017 Audi A5 S Line TDI Quattro S-A presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 17 November 2023 at 81,280 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 25 August 2022 at 69,961 miles also passed clean. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the two available entries, with zero advisories or failures logged in either examination. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,031 miles based on the 11,319 miles added between August 2022 and November 2023, a figure consistent with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record is sparse, covering only two tests across the car's life, so no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing can be confirmed beyond this window. A clean sheet on both dates suggests the previous keeper addressed consumables and mechanical items before each examination rather than letting wear flag as advisories. Given the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as these Quattro components incur load even without MOT flags. The lack of corrosion or structural notes is reassuring, but nine years of untracked history between the 2022 and 2023 entries leaves drivetrain and exhaust emissions unverified for earlier periods. Prior to purchase, verify the service book against the 81,280-mile odometer and confirm timing belt interval compliance for the TDI engine. The clean MOT trail implies disciplined upkeep, yet the thin record means a physical check of underbody integrity and caliper operation remains prudent.
