2015 Audi A5 3.0L Petrol · W15 KAS

The 2015 Audi A5 exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT records. The February 2026 test at 56,465 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, aligning with prior successful tests from 2023 to 2025. However, a failed test on February 2, 2026, at 56,461 miles—just two days earlier—without recorded defects raises questions about procedural accuracy or potential technical anomalies. No recurring mechanical issues were flagged across the five-year history, suggesting consistent maintenance or minimal wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,465 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 5,133 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage rate implies infrequent operation, which can lead to component degradation such as rubber seal hardening or corrosion. The MOT records show steady mileage progression, with gaps between tests that do not indicate rapid wear. For instance, the 2023 test at 38,433 miles to the 2024 test at 43,914 miles spans 5,481 miles, reflecting gradual accumulation rather than sudden strain. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness or uneven wear. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which can occur during prolonged inactivity. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly for rust in areas prone to moisture ingress, given the vehicle’s age and potential storage conditions. No advisories suggest immediate concerns, but the low mileage warrants a thorough examination of systems that degrade without regular use.
