AUDI Q52012 · 2.0L Diesel

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 at 64,700 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 4,621 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 48,318 miles in August 2021 to 64,700 miles by September 2025. This linear progression suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation, which reduces the likelihood of seized calipers or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage cars. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus on components that degrade with age regardless of mileage. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or suspension bushes is positive, but the vehicle is now fourteen years old. I recommend a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points for surface corrosion and a check of the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time. The lack of recurring faults in the DVSA data suggests a diligent previous owner. Given the low mileage and absence of mechanical flags, the primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure oil changes and cambelt intervals were respected despite the low annual distance covered.
