2012 Audi A5 2.0L Petrol · WM12 NNT

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 at 47,513 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent period of clean passes over several years, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity remains well-maintained. The maintenance trend appears positive as the owner has successfully addressed minor issues and kept the vehicle compliant without any major failures in recent inspections. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,513 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. The usage pattern is remarkably consistent, with annual increments typically falling between 2,500 and 3,000 miles throughout the period from 2019 to 2026. While this low-mile profile indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it also increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading, such as seals, hoses, and tyres due to age and potential periods of stationary use. A physical inspection should focus on the tyres and suspension components based on historical data. The May 2025 test at 46,041 miles flagged a perished nearside front tyre sidewall, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles sitting for long. Additionally, the 2019 record noted uneven wear across all rear tyres and front tyres reaching the legal limit, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should verify the current condition of the rubber bushings for signs of dry rot and ensure that the low mileage has not masked age-related corrosion in the braking system or underbody.
