1997 Audi Cabriolet 2.6L Petrol · GIA 110

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. In the most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 96,102 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects. This three-year streak of clean results following a failure in May 2022 indicates that the current ownership is proactive in addressing necessary repairs and ensuring the mechanical and structural components meet minimum standards without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 29-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per annum. Between April 2023 and April 2025, the car covered only 3,396 miles, suggesting very light or seasonal use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, such as split suspension bushes, perished brake seals, and the solidifying of brake fluid if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and rear floor pans, as these-era Audi Cabriolets are prone to corrosion in hidden areas. Despite the clean MOT records, it is vital to check for weeping from the shock absorbers and signs of seized brake calipers which often occur when mileage is low. Given the low usage, also verify the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the rubber age likely exceeds its functional life regardless of the remaining tread depth.
