AUDI R82014 · 5.2L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 at 38,278 miles with no defects recorded. This follows four consecutive passes since 2021, with no recurring failures or serious defects noted in the history. The absence of defects in the last four tests indicates consistent maintenance and stable mechanical condition, with only minor tyre-related advisories in 2021 that did not escalate into failures in subsequent inspections. The recorded mileage of 38,278 miles over 12 years equates to an average of approximately 3,190 miles annually, significantly below typical usage. Mileage progression between MOTs shows gradual increases: 2,089 miles from 2021 to 2022, 2,083 miles from 2022 to 2023, 3,528 miles from 2023 to 2024, and 1,861 miles from 2024 to 2025. This pattern suggests limited regular use, which can lead to issues like fluid degradation, rubber component drying, or corrosion in rarely driven systems such as brakes or exhaust. Buyers should inspect for age-related wear despite low mileage, particularly tyre condition (including sidewall cracking), brake disc surface corrosion, and suspension bush integrity. Check for fluid leaks, especially in the engine and transmission, and verify the exhaust system for internal rust or blockages. While the MOT records show no structural defects, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion in chassis or exhaust components is advisable, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from neglect in these areas due to infrequent use. The absence of recent advisories is positive, but physical verification of components prone to deterioration from inactivity remains critical.
