2018 Audi A8 3.0L Petrol · RD07 MCB

Based on the supplied MOT history, the most recent test outcome is a clear pass on 15 May 2026, following a failure just two days prior on 13 May 2026. The failure was for three separate issues: a missing wheel fixing on the nearside front, a dipswitch malfunction, and a non-working front fog light. The immediate re-pass indicates these were likely repaired quickly, but it does mean you should verify the quality of that work, especially concerning the wheel securing bolt. The history shows a pattern of minor electrical and lighting advisories or defects, with the 2024 test noting perishing tyres on all four wheels. There is no record of serious structural, brake, or suspension failures over the past three years. The trend does not look worsening; rather, it points to typical age-related minor faults and maintenance items being addressed at each test. The car has passed three of its last four MOTs. The mileage is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year. This ambiguity requires caution. It could genuinely reflect light, careful use, which would mean less wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components.
