AUDI CABRIOLET1998 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last four years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 68,022 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of perfect test scores. This consistency suggests a high level of preventative maintenance and that the owner likely addresses mechanical and structural issues before they escalate into MOT-level failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per annum. Between April 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 6,039 miles, indicating it is used sparingly or stored for long periods. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between uses can sometimes mask age-related issues such as dry rot in rubber-based components, flat-spotting tyre de-lamination, or the degradation of fluid seals which occur regardless of distance driven. Despite the clean digital record, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age rather than high-mileage wear. A buyer should verify the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically looking for corrosion in the sills and floor pans where older Audi Cabriolets often trap moisture. Given the low usage, check the state of the suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking or perished rubber from age. The braking system should also be tested for binding calipers or seizing, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on the brake discs.
