2017 Audi R8 5.2L Petrol · V10 XCM

The overall roadworthiness status of this 2017 Audi R8 is exceptional, supported by a clean maintenance trend that shows zero recorded defects during recent examinations. In the most recent test conducted on 5 February 2026 at an unspecified low mileage, the vehicle passed without a single advisory or failure. This spotless modern history indicates that previous keepers maintained the supercar to a high standard, entirely avoiding the recurring mechanical or structural faults that typically plague high-performance platforms. The recorded mileage sits at 20,647 miles, which translates to a modest annual average of roughly 2,294 miles over its nine-year lifespan. This low usage is further verified by examining the chronological test intervals, which capture a vehicle driven sparingly and often stored for extended periods. A single administrative anomaly appears on 2 November 2022 when the car initially failed an MOT with no recorded defects, followed immediately by a clean pass the next day on 3 November 2022, suggesting a minor paperwork or administrative oversight rather than a mechanical failure. Inspecting this vehicle in person requires focusing on the unique vulnerabilities of low-mileage performance cars that spend significant time parked. While the MOT records show no evidence of corrosion, exhaust emission failures, or worn suspension components, prospective buyers must physically check for perished rubber bushes, weeping damper seals, and flat-spotted tyres resulting from infrequent use. High-performance braking systems and clutch assemblies also demand a thorough manual inspection for surface rust on discs and hydraulic degradation, ensuring the mechanical health matches the unblemished test history.
