    The car was registered in March 2019 according to your check, but it had the crash in November 2022 with no MOT recorded, which is probably explainable but to me it looks like the car had no MOT at the time of the accident.

    I ran into the problem with an A5 1.8 TFSi Black Edition from that place beginning with C, it had a plastic sump which had been cracked and then ran until it seized solid. I did rebuild the engine and fitted a steel sump and my Daughter is still driving it and loves it.
