Mechanical Assessment

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 and shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical neglect. The most recent MOT conducted in May 2025 at 115,692 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. This represents a positive shift from the May 2024 failure where the car presented multiple suspension and lighting faults that were addressed before the retest. At a recorded mileage of 115,692 miles, the Audi has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per year over its eighteen, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,600 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 2,500 miles between 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the car has not sat for extended periods, which often helps keep aged rubber components and seals supple. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the 2024 failure specifically highlighted wear on both lower suspension arm bushes and perished ball joint dust covers. While these were reportedly repaired, the recurring nature of suspension faults suggests the components may be reaching the end of their service life. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a badly corroded central exhaust box warrants a close look to ensure the system was actually replaced and that the rust has not progressed to the structural mounting points.
