AUDI A82017 · 4.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 24,620 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues previously identified were addressed. This suggests the car is currently maintained in a good state regarding its primary MOT safety requirements. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,736 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2022 and June 2023, where the car covered only 6,381 miles in twelve months. Since then, the usage has remained consistent, with roughly 1,300 miles recorded per annum. While this low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to degradation of rubber-based components due to prolonged inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and suspension perwork. The 2021 test at 13,013 miles flagged perished tyres throughout, and the 2022 test at 15,954 miles identified a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. These faults are typical of a vehicle that sits for long periods. Given the low usage, it is vital to check for dry sidewall cracking in the tyres, perished suspension bushings, and seized brake calipers, as these components age with time regardless of the miles driven.
