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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 40,407 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring brake and tyre advisories, coupled with two unexplained failures, warrants careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,662 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2019, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Sep 2019, Sep 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024) suggest a history of maintenance needs.
  • Two unexplained failures (Sep 2024, Sep 2025) with no defect details provided in the MOT history.
  • The 2012 diesel engine is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 8,662 miles/year, suggesting regular use.
