AI verdict AVOID 44/100

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

This 2002 Audi has 28 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 28,510 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-01-11, which is a critical red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,936 miles/year, averaging only 28,510 miles over 24 years, which is a significant anomaly for a 2002 diesel.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2025-01-11, indicating a severe lapse in roadworthiness.
  • Five major failures across critical systems (lights, suspension, brakes) since 2006.
  • Twenty-three advisories on the same components (coil spring, exhaust, brakes) across multiple tests.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,936 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle is highly suspicious.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
