2012 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · RV62 AAO

The Audi A8 presents a currently valid pass certificate from the 19 November 2025 test at 167,551 miles, with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads stable, as every annual examination from November 2022 onward returned a pass with no advisories. The sole anomaly appears on 20 November 2024, when the tester logged a failure at 148,612 miles yet cited no defects, followed hours later by a pass at 148,613 miles; this points to an administrative irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression shows consistent annual use. The record charts 110,923 miles on 4 November 2022, rising to 129,688 by 25 November 2023, then 148,613 on 20 November 2024, and 167,551 on 19 November 2025. That equates to roughly 18,800 miles covered in each intervening year, a figure above the vehicle's lifetime average of near 12,000 miles per annum and signalling heavier recent commuting or motorway mileage. No gaps exist between tests; the most recent examination sits eight months before today's date, keeping the data fresh. With no recurring faults, advisories, or structural corrosion entries in the DVSA ledger, the buyer faces no flagged mechanical risks from the documentary trail. Prudence still demands a physical inspection of high-stress components typical for a 14-year-old executive saloon at this distance: front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, plus underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions. The owner's pattern of annual testing with clean sheets suggests disciplined statutory upkeep, though invisible wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades remains possible.
