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

This 2001 Audi has 18 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 35,561 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2021-12-13, which is a major red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,171 miles per year, averaging 35,561 miles over 25 years, which is a significant anomaly for its age.

Things to check

  • MOT EXPIRED 2021-12-13 — vehicle is currently not road legal.
  • 6 MAJOR SUSPENSION FAILURES (Dec 2020) — indicates severe structural neglect.
  • 8 RECURRING ADVISORIES (wipers, exhaust, brakes, cv boot) — consistent pattern of deferred maintenance.
  • EXTREMELY LOW ANNUAL MILEAGE (5,171 mi/yr) — suggests long periods of inactivity or very short journeys.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures — the single failure in Dec 2020 was immediately rectified.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory — no suspicious drops or spikes detected.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating — indicates a well-designed vehicle for its era.
  • No recurring dangerous defects — the single failure was addressed promptly.
