AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Audi has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 37,017 miles. While it has a valid MOT until May 2026, the mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage for several years.

Mileage was consistently high (69,321 mi by May 2019) but then suspiciously low for 4 years (83 mi/yr equivalent) before normalising, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defect (May 2019) indicates past neglect.
  • Recurring brake advisories (Mar 2024, May 2019) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (83 mi/yr, 2022-2024) raises odometer fraud concerns.
  • Offside Front Coil spring fractured (Jul 2024) points to suspension wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until May 2026 provides immediate peace of mind.
  • No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
