The 2012 Audi A5 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its most recent MOT on 2025-11-07 at 133,154 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over the past three years, with all prior tests from 2024-11-02 (124,370 miles) to 2022-11-10 (100,443 miles) also showing no defects. The single failed test on 2022-11-09 at 100,418 miles recorded no specific issues, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor, unresolved concern that was subsequently addressed. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults indicates the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no evidence of escalating wear or systemic issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,511 miles annually. The 133,154-mile reading reflects a steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage that might indicate neglect or excessive use. The 2024-11-02 test at 124,370 miles and the 2023-10-21 test at 112,934 miles show regular intervals between inspections, consistent with standard maintenance practices. The data lacks anomalies, reinforcing the impression of routine care rather than sporadic or inadequate servicing. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these are common wear points in Audi A5 models of this era. While no corrosion or structural issues were flagged in the MOT records, a visual check for rust on the underbody and chassis is advisable. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be assessed for uneven wear, and the exhaust system inspected for leaks or damage. The vehicle’s clean MOT history suggests no urgent concerns, but a pre-purchase survey remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
