2009 AUDI A42.0L Diesel

The 2009 Audi A4 presents a stable roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 164,409 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the five-year MOT span shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories, indicating consistent baseline upkeep. A failed test logged on the same date at 164,405 miles but with no defects recorded points to an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass. Mileage progression tracks typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 136,087 miles at the November 2022 test, rising to 141,607 by November 2023, 153,209 by November 2024, and 164,409 by November 2025. Annual accumulation sits near 9,700 miles, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps that would suggest prolonged standing or drivetrain strain from irregular use. The clean pass history across all dated entries implies previous owners addressed consumables before each winter test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car's age and 164k mileage, as these items wear without always triggering MOT advisories. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close checking despite the absence of flagged rust in the record. The tester recorded no binding calipers or exhaust emission concerns, but a pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains sensible given standard consumable cycles.
