AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Audi has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 11,278 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of repeated issues with safety-critical systems warrants a thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage for its age, with a suspiciously low 217 miles recorded between Mar 2021 and Mar 2022, and similarly low readings in subsequent years.
Things to check
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023) indicate a chronic issue.
- Recurring headlamp aim advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022) suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical fault.
- Unusually low mileage recorded before Mar 2021 (217 mi/yr equivalent) and subsequent years raises odometer fraud concerns.
- Major failure for excessively binding offside front service brake (Mar 2020) followed by repeated advisories points to a systemic problem.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has consistently passed its retests after initial failures, showing responsive ownership.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2025) indicates a high level of safety and crashworthiness.
