2014 Audi RS 2.5L Petrol · EX64 PLF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-08-22 confirms a clean pass with no defects, placing it within the current 12-month validity window as of 2026-08-20. The preceding tests—all passed without fail—suggest a stable maintenance record over the past three years, though the duplicate entry for 2022 (one pass, one fail) indicates either an administrative error or a brief oversight in scheduling. No recurring advisories or defects appear in the record, which is unusual for a high-performance model of this age, as such vehicles often exhibit wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers over time. The absence of emissions-related failures also implies either recent servicing or a well-maintained fuel system, though this should be cross-checked with service history. The recorded mileage of 88,667 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 7,389 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap in testing occurs between the 2022 and 2023 MOTs, where the vehicle sat untested for nearly 12 months—an unusually long interval given the car’s age and performance-oriented nature. This suggests either prolonged storage or inconsistent ownership, which could have allowed for minor corrosion or suspension degradation to develop undetected. The consistent mileage increments between 2023 and 2025 indicate regular use, but the lack of advisories does not guarantee no wear has occurred in high-stress areas like the drivetrain or exhaust system. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common failure points in high-mileage RS models. The binding calipers advisory from the 2022 fail—if genuine—should be revisited, as persistent brake issues can escalate into structural risks. Exhaust emissions should also be scrutinised, as the lack of failures does not preclude leaks or catalytic converter wear. Structural integrity, especially around the subframe and wheel arches, warrants inspection for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and the prolonged 2022 gap. Finally, the engine bay and drivetrain should be checked for fluid leaks or unusual wear, as these are often overlooked in vehicles with passing MOTs but inconsistent service records.
