Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 24 December 2025 at 118,772 miles which returned no recorded defects. This result follows a failure in March 2025 at 117,720 miles, though the record indicates no specific defects for that particular failure. The subsequent clean pass just nine months later suggests that the owner was proactive in addressing any issues and maintaining the vehicle to passing standards over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation, with 21,252 miles covered between March 2023 and April 2024, followed by roughly 12,700 miles between April 2024 and December 2025. This regularity suggests the car undergoes consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which can often trigger age-related rubber perish or brake fluid contamination. The intervals between tests remain generally predictable. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to wear at this mileage threshold. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Given the age of the Audi, checking the brake discs for excessive corrosion and testing the calipers for binding is prudent. The structural integrity of the underbody should be verified for surface rust, ensuring the lack of recorded defects in the digital history is being maintained despite the high-mile levels.
