2007 Audi R8 4.2L Petrol · R8 LDV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 104,946 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of recurring minor defects rather than major mechanical failures. The latest test identified a damaged windscreen and an inoperative nearside rear plate lamp, both of which are minor-compliance issues that do not indicate deep structural or mechanical degradation of the vehicle. At 104,946 miles, this 19-year-old Audi averages a low usage of approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the last three years, with roughly 1,600 miles recorded between June 2024 and August 2025, and approximately 2,400 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This low annual mileage suggests the car sits periodically, which can lead to rubber degradation and fluid issues despite the low mileage. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension as the April 2023 test at 100,344 miles flagged both front shock absorbers for light misting of oil. While this did not cause a failure, misting indicates the beginning of seal failure which will eventually lead to leaks and compromised handling. Given the recurring advisories regarding the windscreen across three consecutive years, a physical inspection should focus on whether the glass has suffered stone chips that could develop into structural cracks under pressure. The age of the vehicle also necessitates a thorough check of rubber bushings and brake lines, as these components age out faster than they wear out on low-mileage cars.
