2015 Audi R8 5.2L Petrol · J4 JML

The Audi R8 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 12,743 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows three prior consecutive passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening or recurring mechanical faults across the available four-year MOT span. Mileage data indicates extremely light use for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows 12,260 miles at the 3 August 2022 test, rising only to 12,283 miles by 25 July 2023, then holding at 12,743 miles for both the 18 July 2024 and 5 August 2025 tests. That equates to roughly 1,158 miles per year, with effectively zero accumulation across the final two years. Such low and static mileage suggests long periods of standing rather than regular road use. The absence of any advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion means the MOT history alone reveals no red flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection given the car's age and dormant mileage. Standing vehicles commonly develop perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded fluids despite a clean test sheet. Prior to purchase, a technician should verify brake caliper condition for binding after storage, check for subframe or sill corrosion hidden beneath undertrays, and confirm the timing components and fuel system have not suffered from infrequent operation. The MOT record implies a fastidiously low-use ownership pattern, but paper cleanliness does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical assessment.
