AUDI A52010 · 3.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record through its most recent inspection. The test conducted on 29 July 2025 at 122,874 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in July 2024, the subsequent pass just one month later and the following annual clean sheets suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing faults rather than letting them persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year over sixteen years. Between August 2022 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 19,688 miles, showing a steady rate of travel. The interval between the August 2023 and July 2024 tests saw only 5,406 miles, which aligns with the established average. This lower mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber components becoming brittle due to age rather than friction. A buyer should focus on the specific cause of the July 2024 failure at 116,827 miles to determine if it was a minor consumable issue or a deeper mechanical concern. Given the age of the Audi, a physical inspection must prioritize the condition of suspension bushes and control arm bolts, which are common points of failure on this chassis. Check the brake discs for excessive corrosion and inspect the underside for structural rust issues, as the MOT record does not show any previous advisories that would indicate ongoing degradation.
