1989 AUDI QUATTRO2.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 225,261 miles passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a trend of perfect passes dating back to 2022. This consistency suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where the owner has likely addressed mechanical wear and safety issues before they result in a test failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of 37 years' age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2026, the car covered 4,146 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stationary neglect. The interval of 948 miles between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for older seals and mechanical components to prevent corrosion and dry rot often seen in low-mileage classic cars. Despite the clean digital history, the age and high cumulative mileage of this Audi Quattro necessitate a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain components. A buyer should scrutinize the sills, wheel arches, and strut towers for structural corrosion, as the MOT does not detect surface rust until it becomes a perforation. Given the mileage, close attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the complex Quattro drivetrain system is required to identify any play or fluid leaks that would not trigger a standard test failure.
