This 2022 Audi A5 is a genuinely strong performer, passing its MOT on the first attempt 93.2% of the time—well above the UK average of 80%.

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
