2013 AUDI A42.0L Diesel

The Audi A4 holds a valid MOT pass dated 29 October 2025 at 157,403 miles with no defects recorded, establishing current roadworthiness per the official test. Mechanical trend across the history reads as stable, as every examination from the February 2023 pass at 127,783 miles through to the latest test logged zero advisories or faults. Two intermediate failures on 6 May 2024 at 137,995 miles and 1 October 2025 at 156,885 miles show no defects cited, indicating either clerical omission in the record or non-mechanical compliance matters rather than escalating wear. Mileage sits high for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging near 12,108 miles annually. The February 2023 test at 127,783 miles preceded a modest 10,212-mile gain to the May 2024 failure. A further 18,890 miles accumulated by the October 2025 failure at 156,885 miles, then merely 518 miles to the subsequent pass. Sparse test entries limit granular wear tracking, but the clean defect list across all dates implies consistent basic upkeep or undetected issues. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of high-stress components given the distance covered. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or collapse, measure brake disc wear and test calipers for binding, and probe subframe, sills, and mounting points for corrosion. The tester never flagged exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns, yet age and mileage dictate verification of those systems. The repeated fails with no recorded faults hint that previous owners may have faced documentation or minor presentation issues rather than neglected mechanical care. Obtain the full DVSA failure reasons before purchase. An independent mechanical assessment remains prudent to confirm the absence of latent defects not captured in the MOT data.
