AI verdict AVOID 44/100

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

This 2004 Audi has 31 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 25,733 miles. The vehicle's low annual mileage and numerous advisories for common wear items like tyres and lights also present significant risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,364 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2026, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2026): Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm both (5.2.3 (e))
  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Feb 2017 – Jan 2018)
  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2007-02-28 and 2008-02-27, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests, including a fractured coil spring in May 2024.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until June 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
  • The car has a consistent mileage history, despite the low annual usage, which can help with future resale value.
