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 currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 April 2026 at 122,977 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a consistent sequence of clean passes back to 2024, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies current safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The' pattern is consistent with a low-use-case vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between April 2025 and April 2026, the car covered 1,937 miles, showing a steady but modest usage profile. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that would suggest heavy-duty wear, though the low annual mileage on an 18-year-old Audi suggests that age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids may be a greater consideration than mechanical stress if the car has sat stationary for long periods. Despite the clean recent test results, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and rubber mounts, as the vehicle's age makes them prone to cracking and rot irrespective of mileage. The failure recorded on 24 March 2023 at 113,474 miles,ion followed by a pass on the same day, suggests a specific fault was identified and rectified quickly. Attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the artwork and the condition of the brake lines to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed on the chassis.
