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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 17,947 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the repeated failures and advisories point to significant underlying mechanical neglect.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,502 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the car has been driven very lightly for its age.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defects on 2018-07-19 and 2022-07-19 indicate severe neglect.
- Dangerous brake failure on 2023-11-01 shows critical safety system issues.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2018, 2020, 2024, 2025) and brake advisories (2020, 2023) point to systemic neglect.
- Five MOT failures across 13 tests (2018, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) is unusually high for a 2012 car.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,502 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
