2010 Audi R8 5.2L Petrol · D1 RRN

The Audi R8 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 17,567 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean sequence seen across the prior three examinations. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 2010 vehicle. From the 21 September 2021 test at 16,286 miles to the 2 November 2022 test at 17,032 miles, the car covered only 746 miles in just over thirteen months. By 27 June 2024 it recorded 17,478 miles, then 17,567 miles by June 2025, a mere 89 miles in the final year. Annual averages sit near 1,098 miles. The record shows a thirteen-month gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests, but no failed examinations or lapsed coverage follow from it. A clean MOT sheet with no advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low mileage combined with a 16-year age suggests long standing periods, which commonly degrade rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper seals, and tyre sidewalls even when tread appears legal. The tester raised no corrosion or structural concerns, yet an R8's aluminium spaceframe and exposed underside still warrant a hands-on check for environmental pitting. Prospective buyers should commission an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on brake disc condition, suspension articulation, and fluid histories. The absence of recorded faults implies prior owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse annual use means consumables may have aged rather than worn. Verify service stamps against the low mileage to confirm the car was not simply parked and forgotten.
