2013 AUDI A32.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthiness state based on its most recent MOT pass on 2 August 2024 at 120,063 miles. This test was clean with no defects or advisories recorded. The failure on 26 July 2024 is an anomaly in the data, as the record lists a fail but specifies no defects, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue resolved within a week. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 9,236 miles per year. A significant gap exists between the November 2019 test at 98,170 miles and the March 2022 test at 95,578 miles. This discrepancy indicates a mileage reversal of 2,592 miles or a recording error during the 2019 or 2022 inspections. Aside from this inconsistency, the vehicle has seen steady use, increasing by approximately 15,000 miles between March 2023 and August 2024. The MOT history is unusually clean for a thirteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained car, the lack of any flagged consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes over a 120,000 mile lifespan is atypical. A buyer should specifically inspect the underside for corrosion and check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine that the MOT test does not verify. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the gearbox and clutch. The absence of any recorded suspension wear in the DVSA data means the buyer must manually check for play in the steering rack and the condition of the shock absorbers to ensure the record reflects the actual mechanical state of the car.
