2009 Audi R8 4.2L Petrol · 74 HA

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until November 2026, with the most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 11,872 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This outcome aligns with the preceding three annual inspections, which also concluded without any advisories or failures. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent lack of flagged mechanical or structural issues across the four-year period provided. The recorded mileage of 11,872 miles over a seventeen-year lifespan indicates an average annual usage of approximately 698 miles. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage or stationary. While the MOT history shows no defects, long-term inactivity often leads to specific mechanical risks that standard annual tests may not fully capture, such as the degradation of rubber seals, perished hoses, or the potential for seized brake components due to infrequent operation. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on components prone to deterioration during prolonged storage. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or binding, as these often develop when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Inspect the suspension bushes and gaiters for perishing, as rubber compounds can harden and crack over time regardless of low mileage. Confirm that the tyres do not exhibit side-wall cracking or flat spots from extended periods of static load. Given the technical complexity of the Audi R8 platform, a thorough assessment of the cooling system hoses and fluid levels is necessary to ensure that seals have not failed during the vehicle's extended downtime. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
