Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 June 2025 at 100,062 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean sheet suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing mechanical requirements, as the vehicle has consistently cleared the MOT test without failure or warning markers. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,147 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 24,490 miles, maintaining a steady annual accumulation of roughly 6,000 to 7,500 miles. This low-average usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and brake seals often seen in more neglected low-mileage older cars. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should still focus on specific areas common to Audis of this age and mileage. Physical inspection should prioritize the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral arms, as these often perish regardless of a clean MOT record. You should also check the brake discs for signs of thinning or pitting and examine the underside for structural corrosion on the subframe points to ensure the integrity remains sound beyond the basic test requirements.
