AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Audi has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 16,546 miles. The low mileage for its age and a 2019 service gap also warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,369 miles per year, with a significant 2019 service gap and a 2020 retest after a 2-year gap.

Things to check

  • Aug 2018 MOT failure with no defect details is a major red flag for undisclosed issues.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2018) and calliper corrosion (Aug 2018) indicate systemic brake wear.
  • 2019 MOT gap suggests potential off-road use or lack of maintenance.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (5,369 mi/yr) for a 22-year-old vehicle is a significant concern.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass in Sep 2021, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recorded failures for the 2020 retest, suggesting immediate rectification of previous issues.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2025) indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
