2012 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · WR12 AEW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-03-07 at 200,460 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. Previous tests from 2021-02-12 (171,940 miles) and 2019-08-06 (149,850 miles) also recorded no issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the absence of MOT records between 2023 and 2026 raises concerns about potential unrecorded deterioration, particularly given the high mileage of 200,460 miles for a 14-year-old vehicle. The mileage progression shows rapid accumulation, with 50,610 miles added between 2019 and 2023, averaging 12,652 miles annually. This exceeds typical usage for a vehicle of this age, increasing wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. Notably, the 2022-02-19 test recorded a failure despite no defects listed, which may indicate procedural inconsistencies or unreported issues. The lack of detailed fault records limits definitive conclusions about mechanical health between 2019 and 2023. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage and potential for fatigue. Brake systems, including disc warping or caliper binding, warrant scrutiny, as these often degrade with extensive use. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as corrosion or panel damage may have developed over 14 years. The absence of recent MOT data means a professional inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
