Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on October 21, 2025, at 129,935 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets testing requirements despite two failures in the preceding years. The failures in 2024 and 2025 were followed by immediate passes, suggesting the owner is proactive in rectifying identified defects rather than allowing them to persist into subsequent tests. At twenty-five years old, the recorded mileage of 129,935 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows very consistent usage patterns in recent years, with only 475 miles driven between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, and 3,924 miles covered between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, though it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid due to age rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as older Audi models from this era are prone to corrosion in hidden areas around the mounting points. Given the low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and control arms for cracking or perish which occurs over time. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check of brake calipers for seized pistons, a common issue when cars sit for long periods.
