Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a class
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on verifying the continuity of its maintenance. While the MOT history shows no mechanical failures, an MOT is a snapshot of roadworthiness and does not confirm regular servicing. Request any available service receipts to ensure the 2.2L petrol engine has been maintained according to its age.
Given the vehicle's age, check for signs of age-related deterioration that an MOT might not capture, such as rubber seal perishability or interior wear. Negotiate based on the documented service history; a lack of paperwork should be factored into your offer, regardless of the clean MOT record.
Running costs for a 1987 2.2L petrol Audi will be higher than a modern equivalent. Expect relatively high fuel consumption due to the larger engine displacement and older fuel injection technology. Tax and insurance groups for classic vehicles can vary significantly based on your personal profile and the vehicle's declared value.
Maintenance costs will likely be driven by the availability of specialist parts. While common components may be accessible, specific trim or engine parts for this era of Audi may require more effort to source. Budget for periodic preventative maintenance to keep a classic of this vintage roadworthy.
Focus your inspection on the chassis and structural integrity. Although the MOT history from 2022 to 2026 shows no defects, older vehicles are susceptible to corrosion in sills and floor pans which can develop between tests. Check all light clusters and indicators to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks, particularly around the 2226cc engine components. Because the MOT records show no defects, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a state that meets minimum standards, but a physical check of the cooling system and belts is essential for a vehicle of this age.
This 1987 Audi, finished in red, presents with remarkably low mileage for its age, having covered just over 90,000 miles since its first registration. The MOT history is notably clean, showing five consecutive years of passes without a single recorded defect or advisory between 2022 and 2026. For a vehicle nearing forty years of age, the lack of recorded failures is a significant observation.
Specific aggregate reliability data for this 1987 Audi model is unavailable, so individual vehicle inspection is paramount.
