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 roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 121,365 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently secured passes without recorded defects over the last three years. While the record shows immediate failures on the same day as the two most recent tests, the lack of any persistent advisories suggests that identified issues were rectified promptly without indicating a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 99,082 miles in January 2024 to 112,500 miles in February 2025, and finally to 121,365 miles in February 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals, rubber components, and braking systems that suffer from seizing or corrosion when neglected. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and lower arm bushes, as these are common points of wear on the A6 platform at this mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches where rust often initiates. Given the recent failures followed by immediate passes, verifying the condition of the brake fluid and checking for fluid leaks is advisable to ensure the repairs performed prior to the tests were comprehensive.
