Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
When inspecting this specific 2.0L diesel A4, focus on the high mileage, which currently sits at 101,737 miles. You should request evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt/water pump replacements, as these are critical for this engine type at this mileage interval.
Because the MOT history shows no recorded defects, you should still perform a thorough physical inspection of the exterior white paintwork for chips and check the interior for wear consistent with 100,000+ miles. Negotiate based on the fact that while the MOT record is clean, the vehicle is entering a higher-maintenance phase of its lifecycle.
As a 2.0L diesel, this A4 is likely to offer efficient long-distance fuel economy, though running costs will be influenced by its higher-than-average mileage. Expect moderate insurance groups typical for an Audi of this era and a standard diesel tax band.
Maintenance costs may increase as the vehicle exceeds the 100,000-mile mark. Budget for potential replacements of wear-and-tear items such as suspension components or tyres, which are common failure points for this model aggregate.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the tyres and coil springs, as these are identified as top MOT failure reasons. Check for any uneven tyre wear or unusual noises from the suspension when driving over bumps.
Additionally, ensure all dashboard warning lights are functional, specifically checking that the engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is operational, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a known failure reason for this model. Given the 101,737 miles, inspect the brake discs and pads for significant wear.
This 2016 Audi A4 features a 1968cc diesel engine and has covered 101,737 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,156 miles per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record with no recorded defects since 2021. It presents as a high-use vehicle that has successfully cleared its annual inspections without failure.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.8% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, coil springs, and engine warning lights.
