2015 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · TM03 BAT

The 2015 Audi A5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 118,924 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in April 2025 at 110,477 miles and March 2023 at 86,579 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the observed record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for an eleven-year-old car, averaging roughly 10,800 miles per year against the 118,924 miles now recorded. The jump from 86,579 miles in March 2023 to 102,045 miles in March 2024 shows about 15,500 miles in that year, then a slower 8,400 miles to April 2025 and 8,400 again to March 2026. The DVSA log is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 1 March 2024 at 102,045 miles showing no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emissions flags in the record implies previous owners kept the structure and emissions systems within limits, though standing moisture exposure on an Audi of this era can hide undertray rust unseen at test. Given the unbroken pass sequence since 2023 and the trivial 2024 duplicate-day failure, the history implies disciplined basic upkeep rather than deferred consumable neglect. Verify service stamps against the 102,045-mile interval, where the twin test entries may mask a missed workshop visit.
