2014 Audi RS 4.2L Petrol · RS05 GGG

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 June 2026 at 37,096 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows a recent improvement after a period of increasing advisories. The 2025 test at 36,188 miles highlighted several issues including worn suspension arm bushes, light oil misting from the front shock absorbers, and multiple tyre defects. The fact that the 2026 test returned a clean sheet suggests the owner addressed these specific mechanical and consumable concerns. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 3,091 miles per year. This pattern of infrequent use is evident in the data. Between November 2020 and June 2021, the vehicle covered 3,705 miles, but a more significant gap appears between November 2019 and November 2020, where it only covered 8,106 miles over a year. Low annual mileage often leads to the specific issues seen in this record, such as tyre perishing and sidewall cracking due to age rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and damping components. While the 2026 test was clear, the history of light oil misting on the front shock absorbers in both 2024 and 2025 indicates a recurring tendency for the seals to weep. The 2025 advisories regarding front suspension arm bushes also suggest these components may be nearing the end of their service life despite the recent pass. Tyre condition remains a point of interest. The record shows a consistent pattern of perishing, cracking, and uneven wear dating back to 2018. Although the 2025 test flagged several tyres near the legal limit or showing age-related cracking, the clean 2026 result implies they have been replaced. A physical inspection should verify that the current set of tyres is appropriate for the vehicle's performance capabilities and shows no signs of dry rot.
