2002 Audi A2 1.4L Petrol · LR02 JYH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 112,618 miles passed with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure noted on the same day. This sequence suggests a minor issue was immediately rectified prior to the re-test, indicating an owner who is attentive to MOT requirements and willing to ensure the vehicle meets legal road safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 90,380 miles and December 2023 at 92,873 miles, the car covered only 2,493 miles, followed by a more significant increase of 19,745 miles leading up to the October 2025 test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, as the MOT record does not detail surface corrosion levels between tests. Given the age and intermittent usage patterns, check for perished rubber hoses, cracked bushings, and degraded brake lines which suffer from time rather than distance. The braking system specifically requires scrutiny for seized calipers or pitted discs, as vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to internal corrosion within the cylinders and hardware.
