AUDI R82016 · 5.2L Petrol

The 2016 Audi R8 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-05 assessment at 36,014 miles. The 2023-10-31 failed test at 33,818 miles recorded no defects, suggesting either an administrative error or a minor issue resolved before subsequent passes. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident in the history, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 36,014 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 3,601 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion if not periodically exercised. The MOT intervals align with standard 12-month cycles, with no abrupt mileage spikes or extended gaps between tests. The absence of advisories or failures in recent records suggests the car has been well-maintained despite its low mileage. A buyer should inspect the suspension for stiffness or dry rot, particularly given the low usage, and check brake components for binding or uneven wear, as inactivity can affect caliper function. Corrosion in underbody areas or wheel arches may warrant scrutiny, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust. The lack of historical defects is reassuring, but the 2023 failed test without explanation merits clarification to confirm the vehicle’s service history and resolve any unresolved issues.
