AI verdict AVOID 38/100

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

This 2008 Audi has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 48,393 miles. This fundamental discrepancy makes the vehicle unroadworthy and a legal liability.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent high usage, averaging 12,146 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but the car is 18 years old.

Things to check

  • The MOT status is 'Not valid' as of the analysis date, directly contradicting a future expiry date of 2026-02-27.
  • The vehicle has been off the road for 3 years (since Mar 2026), which is a major red flag for an 18-year-old car.
  • The recurring advisories and failures on critical safety systems (brakes, suspension, exhaust, headlamps) indicate significant wear and neglect.
  • The high mileage (48,393 mi) for an 18-year-old vehicle, combined with the MOT status, suggests potential hidden issues.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 18-year-old Audi.
