2016 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · WN16 GRX

The Audi A5 presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 25 October 2025 at 116,867 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, a pattern repeated on 12 November 2024 at 107,772 miles where a fail and pass occurred on the same day with no faults noted. This suggests administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and no worsening or resolving fault trend is evident in the data. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 2016 vehicle, rising from 96,623 miles at the 20 November 2023 test to 107,772 miles by November 2024 and 116,867 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles per year, close to the expected average, with no abrupt jumps or standing periods implied by the intervals. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, showing no advisories or recorded defects across any of the three years reviewed. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity given the car is now ten years old and past 116,000 miles. The absence of MOT advisories does not confirm absence of wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades, nor does it rule out corrosion beginning in hidden sills or subframes. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries with no defects indicate the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly but the record offers no evidence of deferred maintenance or skipped upkeep. Physical verification of exhaust emissions equipment and drivetrain condition remains prudent before purchase.
