2016 AUDI A42.0L Diesel

The 2016 Audi A4 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 197,623 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior three successful tests also returned clean sheets. The single failure in the record occurred on 31 October 2023 at 140,808 miles yet listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 19,762 miles, well above typical use for a ten-year-old executive saloon. The records show consistent accumulation: 119,654 miles in November 2022, 140,810 by November 2023, 171,540 by October 2024, and 197,623 by October 2025. The gap between the 31 October 2023 failure and the 9 November 2023 pass covers only 2 miles, confirming a immediate retest. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the clean advisory history suggests the previous keeper addressed wear before each test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were renewed proactively, but dense motorway use at near 20,000 miles per year loads drivetrain components and steering joints beyond average. Verify the 2023 failure anomaly with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect entry exists. Beyond that, the mechanical record shows no corrosion, emission, or structural integrity concerns, and the vehicle's test history reflects disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance.
