AUDI A52018 · 2.0L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-31 at 64,593 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-03-27 at 64,492 miles showed a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unreported minor faults. The prior tests from 2024-03-18 to 2022-03-16 all passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance record until the 2025 tests. However, the lack of detailed defect reporting in the failed test limits definitive conclusions about mechanical integrity. The mileage progression shows an average of 8,074 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for an 8-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps include a 12,451-mile increase between the 2024-03-18 test (51,946 miles) and the 2025-03-31 test (64,593 miles), which could indicate periods of heavy use or infrequent MOT renewals. The 2025-03-27 failure occurred just four days before the subsequent pass, raising questions about the nature of the issue and its resolution. The absence of defects in all tests suggests no major structural or mechanical failures, but the sparse data limits confidence in long-term reliability. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear given the high mileage. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to the potential for binding or uneven wear. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be checked, as unrecorded faults in the failed MOT might have been resolved without documentation. Additionally, the vehicle’s history of a failed MOT without defects highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm compliance and mechanical soundness.
