Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in its most recent test on October 10 2025 at 91,136 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern as the owner has successfully addressed previous mechanical failures and safety defects. While the history indicates a period of neglect, the lack of advisories in the latest report suggests that the immediate mechanical concerns identified in prior years have been rectified for now. At 91,136 miles, this 12-year-old Audi has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 7,700 miles covered between October 2023 and 2024, and another 6,500 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which benefits component longevity. A buyer should focus on the suspension system during a physical inspection given the 2024 failure for a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber. Although this was repaired to pass the subsequent test, the remaining shocks should be checked for similar weeping or inconsistent damping performance. The history of tyre-related failures, including a cut in 2023 and edge wear in 2024, indicates potential past alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature wear on new tyres.
