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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 68,839 miles. The recurring suspension and brake advisories, combined with a 2016 MOT expiry, present significant risks.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,572 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but the vehicle is 24 years old.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2016-10-20; vehicle is currently untaxed and not valid for road use.
  • Four major failures (suspension, brakes, tyres) across 14 tests, indicating chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension and brake advisories from 2006 to 2015, showing a pattern of neglect.
  • High mileage (159,604 miles) for a 2002 vehicle, suggesting heavy commercial or high-mileage use.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,572 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • All major failures were retested and passed, showing immediate owner response to defects.
