Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status having passed its most recent inspection on 23 March 2026 at 144,036 miles. While the history shows a consistent pattern of initial failures followed by successful passes, the latest test recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults before the certificate is issued. The mechanical trend suggests a vehicle that is maintained to a functional standard, as it has returned to a clean sheet of testing despite its high mileage. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a fourteen-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 6,390 miles, while it added 5,701 miles in the eleven months leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady usage suggests regular road miles rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals, rubber components, and battery health. The intervals between tests remain strictly annual, providing a predictable timeline for monitoring wear and tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems that likely triggered the previous failures. At 144,000 miles, Audi suspension bushes, control arm ball, and shock absorbers are prone to significant degradation. The buyer must check for signs of uneven tyre wear or corrosion on brake calipers, as the record indicates these areas required attention previously. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, a thorough check of structural integrity and the condition of the coil springs is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last clean report.
