This 2012 Audi has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 27,742 miles. The mileage history also shows suspiciously low usage for several years.
Mileage was suspiciously low (80 mi/yr equivalent) from 2012 to 2018, but has been normal (6,800 mi/yr) since 2018, with no decreases.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS suspension failures recorded in Mar 2020 and Mar 2024 MOT tests.
- Recurring tyre advisories in Mar 2019, Mar 2025, and Mar 2025 indicate a chronic wear issue.
- Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Mar 2018 (80 mi/yr equivalent) suggests periods of inactivity.
- Two major light failures in Mar 2020 and Mar 2024, with a minor light advisory in Jul 2017.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until November 2026, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage since 2018, averaging 6,800 miles per year.
