2013 Audi A5 2.0L Diesel · YP63 PFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the maintenance history shows a recent period of inconsistency. The most recent test conducted in August 2022 at 107,868 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating a clean bill following a failure earlier that same year. Since the 2022 pass, the car has maintained a clean record without any new advisories, suggesting that the owner has been responsive to mechanical requirements when issues have surfaced. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between the November 2019 test at 76,939 miles and the July 2022 failure at 120,380 miles, during which the car covered over 43,000 miles in under three years. This rapid accumulation of mileage explains the jump in figures and likely accelerated the wear on consumable components compared to the lower-usage years seen between 2017 and 2019. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension assembly, as the 2017 test flagged both nearside front and offside rear tyres for approaching the legal limit. While the recent tests have not highlighted structural corrosion, the high mileage over 100,000 miles means that bushes, control arms, and shock absorbers are nearing their functional lifespan. Given the age of the Audi, checking for leaks on the brake lines and exhaust system is essential to ensure the high-mileage period has not led to neglected mechanical degradation that the MOT Test might not fully capture.
