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

This 2006 Audi has 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 26,590 miles. The low annual mileage for its age is a concern for a diesel engine.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,514 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake advisories across 4 tests (2018, 2020, 2021, 2023) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Recurring light advisories across 2 tests (2010, 2011) indicate a pattern of maintenance needs.
  • Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (Aug 2024) is a serious electrical fault.
  • Undertray insecure Engine undertray (Aug 2024) is a structural integrity concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT record.
