2013 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · WH05 ABY

The 2013 Audi A5’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-25 at 126,479 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time. However, a prior failure on 2025-09-24 at 126,478 miles—just one day earlier—without recorded defects raises questions about the test’s validity or potential technical issues. The trend from 2023-09-22 to 2024-09-13 shows consistent passing results with no defects, suggesting stable maintenance up to that point. The lack of recorded issues in the latest test implies no immediate mechanical risks, but the abrupt failure and subsequent pass without explanation warrant further scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with an average of 9,729 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. The records show no significant gaps or spikes in mileage, with annual intervals between tests. However, the 2025-09-24 failure occurred just 13 miles after the previous test, which may indicate either a data entry error or a brief period of inactivity. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2023 tests suggests no systemic issues in the vehicle’s mechanical or structural components during that timeframe. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear points in older Audis. The exhaust system and brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly given the vehicle’s age. While no advisories were recorded, the lack of detailed defect reports in the MOT history means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues, such as underbody rust or intermittent electrical faults. The vehicle’s maintenance history appears clean, but its recent MOT anomalies require careful evaluation.
