2017 AUDI A42.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-01 showing a pass. However, a failure was recorded on the same date for a non-working rear fog lamp, which is a minor defect under 4.5.1 (a) (ii). The maintenance trend appears stable, with no significant mechanical issues reported in the last three years. The only recurring concern was front brake pads wearing thin in 2024, which was addressed by 2025 and not repeated in subsequent tests. The vehicle has accumulated 117,537 miles over nine years, averaging around 13,060 miles annually. This is higher than typical usage for its age, suggesting frequent use or long-distance driving. The MOT history shows consistent testing, with passes in 2025, 2024, and 2023, indicating regular maintenance. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests was just over a year, which is acceptable but suggests the previous owner may have delayed inspections. No major structural or mechanical defects were noted in these tests. A buyer should inspect the rear fog lamp circuit to ensure it functions correctly, as this was a failure point. The front brake system should also be checked for wear, particularly if the pads were replaced after the 2024 test. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may show increased wear due to high mileage. Corrosion and exhaust emissions should be reviewed, as these are common issues in older vehicles with heavy usage. Overall, the car shows good maintenance habits, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the condition of critical systems.
