AUDI A12018 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on March 7, 2026, at 2,378 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure occurred in early March 2025, the subsequent rectification and pass within ten days suggest the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical or safety failures rather than allowing them to persist across testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered only 7,754 miles, confirming a pattern of light usage or long-term storage rather than high-frequency motorway commuting. This low mileage typically results in minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though the long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or surface corrosion which the MOT does not fully capture. Given the clean history of the last three tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage vehicles. Inspect the brake discs for flat spots or corrosion caused by inactivity, and check the tyres for age-related sidewall rot despite high tread depth. Examine the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of any structural rust advisories in the record suggests the chassis has remained in good condition throughout its relatively short life.
