2012 AUDI RS32.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 November 2025 at 86,197 miles. This test followed a same-day failure caused by perished dust covers on both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. The prompt rectification of these suspension components suggests the owner addresses mechanical failures immediately to maintain the car's condition. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,157 miles per year. The record shows consistent usage patterns with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. Between November 2023 and November 2025, the car covered 18,225 miles, which aligns with its historical average and indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals. A buyer should focus on the braking system and tyre wear during a physical inspection. The November 2023 test at 67,972 miles flagged a binding nearside rear service brake alongside thin brake pads and unevenly worn rear tyres. While the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests recorded no defects, the history shows a recurring pattern of thin brake pads dating back to 2019. This suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumable replacement. Check the current depth and wear patterns of all four tyres to ensure the uneven wear noted in 2023 was corrected with a proper four-wheel alignment. Inspect the front suspension bushings and anti-roll bar links for any new signs of leakage or play, as the recent failure of the dust covers indicates the rubber components are reaching the end of their natural lifespan.
