2008 Audi S8 5.2L Petrol · PN58 AXF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 21 June 2025 at 44,802 miles. This test passed with no defects or advisories, indicating an improvement in condition compared to the previous year. This suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding issues or that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety and environmental standards. The mileage data reveals a significant anomaly that requires scrutiny. Between the January 2024 test at 71,885 miles and the June 2025 test at 44,802 miles, the record shows a decrease of 27,083 miles. This discrepancy suggests an odometer recording error or a clerical mistake, as the overall average usage of approximately 2,489 miles per year is exceptionally low for an S8. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake fluids rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must verify the odometer accuracy and inspect the physical condition of the front end. The January 2024 test flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn to the legal limit and uneven, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should specifically check for perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and leaking shocks that commonly occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. Structural integrity should also be verified for corrosion, though the record has not yet flagged any rust concerns.
