This 2006 Audi has 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 34,417 miles. While these were addressed, the pattern suggests a need for ongoing vigilance and immediate replacement of wear items.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,579 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low annual usage of ~5,700 miles.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (Apr 2019, Nov 2023) and suspension (Nov 2024) indicate a pattern of wear.
  • Major failure for Offside Rear Shock absorbers serious fluid leak (Nov 2022) is a significant structural concern.
  • Major failure for Offside Front Headlamp aim (Oct 2021) and Offside Rear Registration plate lamp (Oct 2021) show electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 8,579 miles/year.
  • No recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and passed subsequent retests.
