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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 49,294 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' and 'Untaxed', making it unroadworthy and unlicensed.

The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low average of 383 miles/year before May 2018, followed by normal usage, but the 2007-10-27 test recorded 49,294 miles, which is significantly lower than expected for a 2004 vehicle.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2024-06-08; current status 'Not valid' — vehicle is unlicensed and unroadworthy.
  • Suspension system repeatedly failed (Jun 2023) and advised (Jun 2019, Jun 2023) — structural neglect.
  • Engine oil advisory recurring (Jun 2019, Jun 2023) — potential for expensive internal wear.
  • CV boot split (Jun 2023) — indicates ongoing electrical and safety issues.

Working in its favour

  • No mileage anomalies after May 2018, indicating consistent usage post-rectification.
  • All past failures were immediately rectified and retested, showing responsive owner action.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the recent MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) — indicates a safe vehicle for its era.
