2019 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · A26 FBS

The most recent MOT test on 2025-11-06 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 78,117 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded across the past five tests. This consistent pass history—spanning annual intervals without fail—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear. The latest test’s proximity to today (just six months old) is acceptable for a used-car purchase, though buyers should verify whether the previous owner adhered to recommended service intervals beyond MOT requirements. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging around 11,000 miles annually with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between the 2023 January tests (a mere 332-mile difference) is unusual but not inherently concerning unless paired with other irregularities. The steady accumulation since 2023—rising from 41,016 to 78,117 miles—aligns with expected wear patterns, though buyers should cross-check the service history against this mileage to confirm alignment with manufacturer recommendations for components like timing belts, suspension bushes, and transmission fluid. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not directly tested under MOT regulations. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are critical for handling and safety but not always flagged until failure. Brake discs and calipers warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven stopping or binding, as the MOT’s absence of brake-related advisories does not guarantee no underlying corrosion or warping. Additionally, check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as Audi A4s from this era are prone to rust progression in wet climates. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive vibration, as catalytic converter efficiency—while not MOT-tested—can degrade silently over time.
