This 2012 Audi has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 40,009 miles.
The MOT history shows a 3-year gap in records (2015–2018) and a 1-year gap in mileage readings (2021–2022), which is highly irregular and suggests potential odometer fraud or data manipulation.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY GAPS: No MOT records from 2015–2018 and a 1-year gap (2021–2022) are highly suspicious.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: A 1-year gap in mileage readings (77,202 mi in Sep 2021, then 86,952 mi in Aug 2022) is a major red flag.
- DANGEROUS DEFECT: A DANGEROUS tyre defect was recorded in Aug 2023, indicating a severe safety failure.
- RECURRING ISSUES: Multiple recurring advisories for tyres, brakes, suspension, and windscreen point to systemic neglect.
Working in its favour
- MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until July 2026, confirming its present roadworthiness.
- MILEAGE CONSISTENCY: Once past the initial gaps, the mileage trajectory shows consistent, average annual usage (8,159 mi/yr).
- NO ODOMETER FRAUD: The mileage readings from 2019 onwards are consistent and show no decreases, which is a positive sign.
- MANY REPAIRS: The MOT history shows that all past failures and advisories were addressed and rectified, indicating a responsive owner.
