AUDI A42002 · 1.9L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 August 2025 at 172,283 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a single failure occurred in August 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent passes without advisories suggest the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,178 miles per annum. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the car covered 5,415 miles, while the interval between August 2023 and August 2025 saw 10,091 miles. This steady usage suggests regular driving patterns rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals and components that suffer from dry rot or degradation when left stationary. Given the lack of recorded advisories in recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this generation of Audi A4. At 172,000 miles, the rubber bushings in the front suspension control arms are likely nearing the end of their functional life regardless of a clean MOT record. Inspect the underbody for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as the MOT test only flags structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold. Additionally, check for oil leaks around the engine block and turbo, as high mileage often taxes gasket integrity.
