2018 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · 5 KSE

The 2026-06-18 test on 110,344 miles was passed with the underbody covered and no full body inspection performed, noting that the rear registration plate deteriorated but was not likely to be misread. This indicates a relatively recent MOT history with a lack of full body inspection, suggesting the vehicle may have been maintained without a comprehensive body check. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the most recent test on 2026-02-23 failing to show significant wear on the underbody, which is consistent with the absence of a full body inspection. However, the mileage pattern is notably high for a 2018 model, averaging approximately 13,793 miles per year, which exceeds typical consumption rates for a vehicle of this age and age class. The rapid accumulation of miles over the past few years suggests that the owner has not been maintaining the vehicle with sufficient attention to the drivetrain and suspension components. Based on the recurring faults, the buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for binding, check the brake discs for corrosion and structural integrity, and examine the front and rear tyres for wear close to the legal limit. Given the history of a rear registration plate deteriorating in multiple years, a thorough check of the rear suspension and braking system is necessary to determine if these components are still in good condition or if they have become the source of future mechanical risks.
