2015 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · S300 ADH

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass on 24 June 2024 at 115,056 miles. While the most recent test included a minor observation regarding a child seat obstructing a belt inspection, the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record since 2017. The history shows a shift from minor consumable issues toward a more disciplined maintenance pattern, as the 2023 failure for tyre tread depth was resolved within 24 hours, leading to a clean pass in the subsequent 2023 test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,460 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 29,375 miles in August 2017 to the current 115,056 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, with annual inspections occurring reliably between 2017 and 2024. This regular testing schedule suggests the vehicle has been in active, consistent use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on tyre wear and braking components. The MOT history reveals a recurring trend of tyres being worn close to the legal limit, specifically noted in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023. This pattern suggests the previous owner tended to run consumables toward the end of their service life. The August 2022 test also flagged thinning front brake pads, so a thorough check of the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs is necessary. Given the age and mileage, the suspension and drivetrain should be scrutinized for wear. Although no structural corrosion or suspension bush failures have appeared in the records, the frequent tyre edge wear noted in several years could indicate underlying alignment issues or worn suspension components. Verifying the integrity of the steering and suspension geometry would be a prudent step before purchase.
