Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Water Pump / Thermostat Housing LeakModerate
Like the B9 A4, the A5 uses plastic cooling components that can seep or fail, causing repeated low-coolant warnings without an obvious puddle.
- NOx Sensor / AdBlue FaultsModerate
Diesel SCR hardware can trigger AdBlue countdowns, engine-management lights, and expensive sensor or injector replacement once the car is out of warranty.
- DL382 S tronic Gear Selection / Mechatronic FaultsSerious
Control or clutch faults can interrupt gear selection. Identify the gearbox code first: this entry applies to the longitudinal DL382 family, not every automatic sold under the same model name.
