AUDI A32007 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 at 50,038 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a clear improvement from the previous year, where multiple advisories were flagged, including a deteriorated CV boot and binding rear brakes. The absence of any issues in the latest test suggests either that prior concerns were addressed or that the vehicle has entered a period of stable mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 50,038 over 19 years equates to an average of just 2,634 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows a jump of 1,409 miles, while the subsequent annual increments have been consistently around 2,300–2,700 miles, indicating no sudden spikes in usage. This pattern suggests the car has spent significant time standing, which may have contributed to the deterioration of rubber components like CV boots and brake seals, even without high mileage wear. A buyer must inspect the condition of the drive shaft CV boots, particularly on the nearside front, as the 2024 advisory indicates severe deterioration that may have led to grease loss and joint wear. The rear brake binding noted in 2024 and thin pads across multiple tests point to potential caliper seizure or sticking pistons, which should be checked for free movement and even pad wear. Tyre wear on the inside edges, consistently flagged from 2021 through 2023, strongly suggests persistent misalignment or worn suspension components such as drop links, track rod ends, or camber settings. The recurring oil leak, present since at least 2022, requires verification that it remains minor and has not progressed to a source of component contamination or fluid loss. The absence of structural corrosion advisories is encouraging, but underseal and wheel arches should still be examined for hidden rust, especially given the car’s age and likely exposure to winter conditions.
