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

This 2006 Audi has 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 21,186 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing a significant drop in annual usage after 2018.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing a significant drop from 8,631 miles/year (Jul 2019) to 3,795 miles/year (Feb 2022), then a spike to 13,101 miles/year (Jan 2023).

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY GAP: No MOT recorded between 2020 and 2022 — a critical safety and legality concern for a 20-year-old vehicle.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: A 20-year-old vehicle shows a significant drop in annual usage from 8,631 miles/year (Jul 2019) to 3,795 miles/year (Feb 2022).
  • RECURRING MAJOR FAILURES: Headlamps, stop lamps, and a fractured coil spring all failed major tests, indicating recurring structural neglect.
  • MILEAGE TRAJECTORY: The mileage of 21,186 miles in 2009-10-22 is implausibly low for a 3-year-old vehicle, suggesting a data anomaly or fraud.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5/5 stars (2025) — indicates a high level of safety for its age.
  • Consistent Annual Mileage: Average 8,027 miles/year aligns with UK usage, suggesting normal wear.
  • No Recent Major Failures: The last MOT in Jan 2023 passed without a major failure.
  • Good Resale Value: Audi models generally retain their value well, despite this specific car's issues.
