2011 Audi A8 SE Exec TDI Quattro A 4.1L Diesel · CV04 KAR

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-09 confirmed the vehicle passed with 115,392 miles. However, a prior failure on 2026-05-05, just four days earlier, suggests a potential inconsistency in testing or a minor issue resolved quickly. No defects were recorded in either the failure or the subsequent pass, which limits the evidence of specific mechanical concerns. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing and failing without recorded defects, making it difficult to assess a worsening or improving trend. The 2024-03-27 MOT also passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle has not shown systemic issues in the past two years. However, the lack of defect details in the failure entry means the root cause remains unclear. The vehicle’s mileage of 115,392 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 7,693 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use, though lower mileage could indicate periods of inactivity. The absence of high-mileage-related defects in the MOT history supports this neutrality. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system, suspension, and electrical components, as these are common areas for hidden issues.
