This 2012 Audi has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 56,760 miles. While it has a long MOT, the owner's history of neglecting wear items is a major red flag.
A significant unverified mileage gap exists between Nov 2022 (126,718 mi) and May 2026 (140,179 mi), with only 1,000 miles recorded between Nov 2021 and Nov 2022, indicating a potential period of inactivity or data anomaly.
Things to check
- Unverified mileage gap: No MOT recorded between Nov 2022 (126,718 mi) and May 2026 (140,179 mi).
- Recurring Tyre Wear: Front tyres flagged as worn close to limit in Oct 2018, May 2026, and Oct 2018 retests.
- Recurring Brake Wear: Rear brake disc worn in Feb 2015, May 2026, and Nov 2019; front pads in May 2026.
- Recurring Windscreen Wiper: Front wiper ineffective in Feb 2015 and Feb 2016, indicating a pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Long MOT Validity: Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-05-17, offering peace of mind for several years.
- No Major Structural Failures: No significant structural or engine failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent Annual Usage: Average annual mileage of 9,743 miles aligns with typical UK usage before the unverified gap.
- Immediate Retests: All failures were immediately rectified and retested, demonstrating a responsive owner.
