2008 Audi R8 4.2L Petrol · RF08 YTO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT conducted in November 2025 at 28,128 miles. This follows a period of successful testing, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances. The maintenance history indicates a trend of consistent upkeep, with only minor consumable-related issues and minor suspension wear being flagged over the last five years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,563 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the 139-mile gap between November 2022 and November 2024, and the 59-mile interval in the final year. While this low usage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid chemistry which are not reflected in the distance driven. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically noting the 2020 advisory regarding a worn offside rear suspension arm pin or bush at 27,347 miles. Although this was resolved or monitored, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber bushings cracking or per despite low mileage. The 2024 failure for a nail in the offside front tyre indicates basic reactive maintenance, but the overall lack of structural advisories suggests the chassis has not suffered from significant corrosion. Verification of the brake discs and calipers is also essential, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust or seized pistons during long periods of storage.
