AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 67,901 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a lapse in attention just one week prior to that pass. The failure at 67,889 miles resulted solely from tyre tread depth on the front axle, and the subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed these consumable issues immediately to meet legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Data shows steady accumulation between 31,743 miles in September 2022 and 55,288 miles in September 2024. The jump of 13,649 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests regular motorway use rather than a car that has sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the rubber-based components and seals in a high-end Audi A8. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the 2025 failure noted an offside front tyre worn on the edge. This often indicates a misaligned issue or worn control arm bushings that have caused uneven tyre wear. While the history shows no structural corrosion or mechanical advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a physical check of the brake discs for pitting and fluid leaks to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred despite the relatively low annual mileage.
