Audi A5 prices in the UK

The average used Audi A5 listed for £16,530 in the UK as of July 2026 (median £15,288), based on 5,381 ScanAuctions price observations. The value sweet spot is a 2016 car at around £9,984 — 20.7% less than a 2017.

The A5 in the used market

The A5 is the A4 in a sharper suit — coupé, Sportback and cabriolet bodies — and it depreciates faster than its saloon sibling, which is exactly why it makes this list. First-generation B8 cars (2007–2016) are now genuinely cheap but carry the era's oil-consumption and Multitronic gearbox folklore; the B9 (2017 on) is the safer buy and the value step between the two shapes is one of the largest we track. Diesel Sportbacks are the volume; tidy petrol coupés hold value better.
