AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2009 Audi has 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 26,850 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 6,017 miles/year, with a significant drop from 2,957 miles/year (Aug 2020) to 1,238 miles/year (Aug 2022), raising odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2024): Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Aug 2018, Aug 2021, and Aug 2024.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure in Aug 2024, following a pattern of advisories since 2015.
  • Recurring advisories for worn tyres and brake discs across 7 tests since 2015.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until September 2026, indicating recent roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) suggests good structural integrity.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory over its 17-year lifespan.
