AUDI A52012 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 40,303 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, following a string of clean passes in the preceding years. This consistency suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without any recurring failures or escalating mechanical issues. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,879 miles per year. Between September 2021 and August 2025, the car covered only 10,483 miles, indicating a pattern of light use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests suggest potential periods of standing which can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components. The only noted issue in 2021 at 29,820 miles involved perishing on both the nearside and offside front tyres, which is a common symptom of age rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time-based decay despite the low mileage. The perishing tyres noted in 2021 highlight that the rubber compounds should be checked for sidewall cracking and hardening, regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as infrequently-used vehicles often suffer from surface rust that persists. A thorough check of the suspension bushes and boots is necessary to ensure that the age of the vehicle has not caused the materials to perish or crack, which would eventually manifest as handling instability or fluid leaks.
