AUDI A42018 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 2 April 2026 at 78,281 miles. While the record shows a generally stable history with clean passes in March 2025 and April 2024, the most recent failure indicates an unresolved issue that prevents the car from being legally driven. The absence of specific defect descriptions in the provided data is unusual for a failure, suggesting a potential administrative error or a failure on a critical item not detailed in the summary. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,785 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2023 test at 55,424 miles and the April 2026 test at 78,281 miles shows a steady increase in usage. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. A buyer must verify the exact reason for the April 2026 failure before proceeding. Since the previous tests in 2024 and 2025 were clean, there is no established trend of recurring mechanical faults such as suspension bush wear or brake disc corrosion. However, the failure on 27 March 2024 at 67,358 miles, followed by a pass just one week later at 67,449 miles, suggests a minor defect was quickly rectified. Physical inspection should focus on common wear items for this mileage, specifically the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads. Given the recent failure, a full check of the exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the underbody is advised to ensure no new corrosion has developed since the 2025 pass.
