2012 Audi A7 3.0L Diesel · WR60 AAA

This 2012 Audi A7 has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance across five consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 25 August 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed the vehicle met all current DVSA standards at 26,460 miles, indicating no immediate red flags from the official record. The absence of recurring advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing. The recorded mileage of 26,460 miles over a 14-year span equates to approximately 1,890 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the average for its age. This pattern implies either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate certain forms of degradation, such as suspension rubber perishing or brake fluid degradation. The mileage increments between tests are also unusually small—ranging from 246 to 1,214 miles—suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods between journeys. Such low mileage does not inherently indicate neglect, but it warrants scrutiny of components that degrade over time rather than distance, such as electrical connections, seals, and structural integrity. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not directly tested during an MOT. The suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for dry rot or excessive play, as low mileage does not guarantee these have been serviced. Brake calipers and pads, while not flagged in the record, may exhibit binding or uneven wear if the vehicle has been left stationary for long periods. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be checked, as rust can develop even with minimal movement. Finally, the battery, fuel system, and electrical connections—often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles—could require attention if the car has been stored without regular use.
