2014 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · GD64 AYX

The 2014 Audi A8 shows a relatively clean MOT history, with its most recent test in August 2025 passing despite some minor advisories. The mileage of 87,561 over 12 years averages roughly 7,300 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, moderate use rather than heavy motorway running or excessive neglect from long periods of sitting. The primary risk pattern identified in the records is related to consumables, specifically tyres and braking components. There is a recurring theme of tyre deterioration, including cuts, cracking, perishing, and wearing close to legal limits. While the 2025 MOT shows the vehicle passed, the advisory regarding cracking or perishing on both rear tyres suggests the rubber is aging, which is common for a car with this mileage profile. The condition trend appears stable but shows signs of minor, predictable wear. While the 2022 MOT flagged thin brake pads and worn tyres across all four corners, the subsequent years have seen fewer mechanical issues, though the recent tyre advisories indicate that maintenance on rubber components is a recurring necessity for this car. The most important checks you should perform in person are a thorough inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life, and a check of the brake pad thickness and disc condition to ensure the wear noted in previous years has been properly addressed.
