Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. This is a high-mileage, older luxury coupe with a history of significant structural and mechanical failures that suggest it is reaching the end of its economical life.
Your priority must be a thorough structural inspection of the chassis and brake lines. The 2021 MOT failure showed multiple excessively corroded brake pipes and a leaking system; ensure the entire braking circuit has been overhauled, not just patched up. You should also specifically check the steering rack for play, as this was a noted major failure point in the past.
Ask for a full service history record. At this mileage, evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements is vital for the 1.8L petrol engine. Given the history of perished suspension bushes and CV boots, check for any signs of clunking noises during a test drive, as these repairs are expensive to rectify on an older Audi platform.
