2017 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · MM17 KWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on June 4 2026 at 31,106 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure just one month prior on May 28, 2026. That failure was caused solely by a missing fuel cap sealing device, which was easily rectified. The subsequent pass indicates that the current owner is responsive to immediate testing requirements and ensures the vehicle remains legal for the road. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 3,456 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered only 3,542 miles in twelve months. While the low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to degradation of rubber-based components. The record confirms this risk through multiple advisories regarding tyre perishing in 2024 and 2025. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the condition of all tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with sidewall cracking and splitting across the 2024 and 2025 tests. These defects are typical of low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary, causing dry rot rather than tread down. Inspection should also cover the nearside front windscreen, which was noted as damaged in 2024, and a check for age-related degradation of the suspension bushes and brake hoses which can become brittle regardless of low mileage.
