AUDI A61999 · 2.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT record is from June 2010, meaning there is a complete absence of official safety data for the last sixteen years. This is a critical concern for any buyer. The historical data from 2008 and 2009 shows a pattern of suspension wear and corrosion. Specific defects included deteriorated suspension arm bushes, play in the anti-roll bar linkage, and broken coil springs. There were also failures regarding split CV joint gaiters and corrosion on both the fuel pipes and a rear brake pipe. Because there have been no recorded tests since 2010, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle's condition is improving or worsening. The trend is unknown, but the previous issues with corrosion are a serious warning sign for a car of this age. The mileage is very low for a twenty-seven-year-old vehicle, averaging around 4,197 miles per year. While this suggests light use, the long gap in MOT history strongly implies the car may have spent years standing. This often leads to the perishing of rubber components and the seizure of mechanical parts.
