AUDI R82016 · 5.2L Petrol

The 2016 Audi R8 holds a fully roadworthy status as confirmed by the 13 June 2025 MOT test at 13,255 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and clean, with every DVSA examination from 15 May 2019 through 13 June 2025 returning a pass and zero advisories. Such consistency indicates the previous keepers addressed any required items before each test and the vehicle has avoided mechanical or structural faults throughout its life. Mileage accumulation reflects exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old performance car. The odometer advanced from 6,282 miles at the May 2019 test to 10,264 miles by 3 November 2020, then crawled to 10,602 miles at the 10 June 2022 examination. A further 826 miles appeared by 27 April 2024 and 1,827 miles by June 2025. These figures equate to roughly 1,300 miles per annum. The record also shows late presentations: the 2022 and 2024 tests fell some ten to nineteen months beyond the prior due dates, implying the car spent long periods stationary under cover rather than frequent road use. No recurring defects appear in the history, yet low mileage and extended storage demand a physical inspection of components vulnerable to stagnation. The buyer should check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or micro-cracking, and examine brake discs for corrosion with calipers tested for binding after prolonged inactivity. Tyres may exhibit sidewall crazing despite adequate tread, while underseal and chassis mounting points require scrutiny for structural rust. These are preventative checks; the MOT record itself flags no serious mechanical or structural risks, and exhaust emissions tests passed cleanly at every interval.
