AUDI A12012 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 15,092 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum legal standards. Following an initial failure in September 2022, the vehicle has cleared three consecutive inspections without advisories, suggesting that previous issues were addressed and subsequent maintenance has remained diligent. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,078 miles per year. Between August 2023 and September 2025, the car covered only 519 miles, moving from 14,573 to 15,092 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle is used for very short trips or sits stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often introduces risks related to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to infrequent use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected with low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, which are common in vehicles that rarely move. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and seized calipers, as infrequent use can cause the pistons to rust in place. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes and rubber boots for perish cracking, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance recorded on the odometer.
