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 47,658 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring brake and suspension failures, coupled with persistent tyre advisories, indicates a history of reactive maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,832 miles/year, with a notable spike of 25,779 miles in 2023-2024, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (Sep 2022, Sep 2023) and advisories (Sep 2020, Sep 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Recurring suspension failures (Sep 2023, Sep 2023) and advisories (Sep 2020, Sep 2022) point to a pattern of neglect.
  • Persistent tyre advisories (18 flags across 5 tests) indicate a chronic issue with tyre condition.
  • The 2023-2024 mileage spike (25,779 miles) after a period of low usage (1,840 miles in 2022) is unusual.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-19, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) indicates a well-regarded safety record.
