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 2005 Audi has 25 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 19,686 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the underlying issues and lack of transparency make this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (5,603 miles/yr) for its age, with a critical 624-mile increase between Jan 2025 and Jan 2026, indicating a possible odometer fraud or a significant data anomaly.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2023-01-15, immediately followed by a PASS on the same day.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-01-15, immediately followed by a PASS on the same day.
  • Recurring dangerous tyre failures on 2023-01-15 and 2022-01-15, indicating a systemic neglect of critical safety components.
  • Recurring dangerous brake failures on 2025-01-15 and 2021-01-15, showing a pattern of critical safety system neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until 2027-01-15, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check) is present in the provided data.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history, suggesting it has not been used for long periods.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2025 provides a high level of safety assurance for a 2005 model.
