1997 Audi 80 2.6L Petrol · RIL 9839

The 2023‑10‑12 MOT passed with no defects, confirming the Audi 80 is presently roadworthy; the lack of any recorded faults in the subsequent and preceding tests shows a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle has accumulated 101,972 miles since its 1997 manufacture, averaging roughly 3,500 miles per year, a figure that points to light usage or extended periods of inactivity rather than high‑intensity driving. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and scrutinise the chassis and underbody for structural rust, all of which are common failure points on a 29‑year‑old car. Finally, reviewing service records for timing belt or cambelt replacement and conducting a professional mechanical survey will help verify that the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical condition.
