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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 35,084 miles. However, the SORN status and lack of a valid MOT require immediate investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,754 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 14-year history.
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories and failures (e.g., Jan 2023, Jan 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
- Tyre advisories (e.g., Jan 2024, Dec 2024) suggest a need for imminent replacement.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN status, meaning no valid MOT and immediate re-registration is required.
- The Dec 2024 MOT pass was only 1 month before the test, suggesting a very recent inspection.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,754 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-01-08, despite the SORN status.
