AUDI 801995 · 1.9L DIESEL

This vehicle is a high-risk purchase. The most recent MOT record is from May 2015, meaning the car has no documented roadworthiness for over eleven years. The MOT history reveals a worsening trend of neglect. By 2015, the vehicle was in poor condition, featuring a driver's door held together by a cable tie, broken number plates, and multiple suspension and bearing failures. There is a recurring pattern of wear in the wheel bearings and suspension bushings, alongside noted rust on the wings. The mileage of 225,794 miles is typical for a 31-year-old car, suggesting consistent use rather than long periods of standing. However, the combination of high mileage and the evident lack of maintenance in its final recorded tests suggests significant wear on all drivetrain and chassis components. Given the decade-long gap in history, you must assume the vehicle has been sitting or maintained poorly. Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and wings for advanced corrosion, check the integrity of all rubber bushings and brake hoses, and verify if the SRS warning lamp and door issues were ever permanently resolved.
