2010 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FT10 AEA

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 December 2025 at 139,410 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 test cycle shows a fail and pass logged on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated on 15 and 26 June 2023 when the car failed then passed within eleven days at 130,740 and 130,742 miles respectively. These paired outcomes with zero advisories or listed faults suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and no worsening condition is evidenced across the timeline. Recorded mileage sits at 139,410 against a 2010 build, equating to roughly 8,700 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the age. The gap between the October 2022 test at 126,801 miles and the June 2023 failure at 130,740 shows only 3,939 miles covered in eight months, while 8,668 miles elapsed by the December 2025 pass. The DVSA data is sparse, with just five entries and no advisories, so the low defect count gives no signal of neglected consumables or deferred structural inspection. A buyer should still commission an in-person check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the vehicle's sixteen-year age and 139,000-mile accumulation. The clean MOT record means no tester flagged corrosion or binding calipers, but the absence of advisories on an older Audi does not confirm freedom from underbody rust or worn steering joints. Prior to purchase, inspect exhaust emissions integrity and tyre sidewall condition, and confirm the December 2025 same-day fail-pass was a paperwork correction rather than a concealed fault. The repeated zero-defect reversals imply previous owners cleared tests efficiently, yet the lack of documented upkeep between 2022 and 2025 warrants a independent mechanical appraisal.
