AUDI A32001 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the final recorded tests, though the data is now critically outdated. The most recent MOT conducted in September 2017 at 157,450 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure for low tyre tread depth. However, because no further tests have been recorded for nearly nine years, the current mechanical state and structural integrity cannot be verified. The lack of recent data means the vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without a comprehensive physical inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between September 2015 and September 2017, the car covered 9,140 miles, indicating a steady usage rate of roughly 4,500 miles annually during that period. The significant gap between the last recorded MOT today suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary for extended periods or remained off the road, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination regardless of the low recorded mileage. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the components that previously showed recurring signs of wear. The 2015 failure highlighted a deteriorated nearside rear suspension arm bush and a major exhaust leak, suggesting the chassis is prone to suspension play and exhaust-system corrosion. Given the history of low tyre tread depth in both 2015 and 2017, the current tyres must be checked for age-related cracking and remaining tread. Furthermore, the long hiatus necessitates a thorough check for structural rust in the sills, floor pans, and wheel arches, as these areas have not been monitored by a tester for nearly a decade.
