The AUDI A5 SPORTBACK (2009-11) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TDI CR DPF EU5 143 S LINE MTRON AUTO8 is a premium five-door fastback, sleeker than a family hatchback but more practical than a coupé. In the UK, it sits among alternatives to the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, appealing to buyers wanting style and practicality. Mycarcheck.com recorded 561 look-ups covering 184 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars checked. The average private-sale valuation was £5,400, with recorded mileage averaging 118,000 miles and annual use around 9,000 miles. Checks showed an average of about five previous keepers, so reviewing each car’s history is especially worthwhile. Its diesel engine and automatic gearbox suit longer commutes and motorway trips, while the S line trim adds a sportier look. The wide-opening rear and usable boot help with family duties; it offers more character than many saloons, though check condition and service records before buying.
