2004 Audi A2 1.4L Petrol · FV54 ACY

The maintenance record shows a stable and generally well-kept example. The July 2025 test at 166,223 miles passed with no defects recorded, and that clean result continued three earlier passes in 2024, 2023, and 2022. The single failure on 7 July 2022 at 141,210 miles is notable because the record lists no reason for the rejection, which is unusual for a DVSA fail notice. The retest fifteen days later at 141,594 miles passed clean, so whatever caused the initial failure was addressed quickly. Nothing has resurfaced since. Bear in mind that the 2025 certificate lapsed on 11 July 2026, so this vehicle currently holds no valid MOT as of today. The mileage figures are internally consistent and point to steady everyday use. The car covered roughly 8,761 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, then 8,820 miles in the following twelve months, and 7,048 miles in the year to July 2025. That equates to an annual average of about 7,500 miles, which is typical for a 22-year-old car and shows no evidence of prolonged storage, clocking, or heavy commercial duty. Each annual test lines up within a few days of the previous one, indicating regular servicing discipline and continuous road use. Because no advisories or defects appear on any certificate, the MOT history does not flag any specific component for immediate concern. At 166,223 miles, however, the buyer should inspect the usual wear items in person: suspension bushes and coil springs, brake discs and rear calipers that can bind, and the condition of brake pipes and unions. Corrosion is the main long-term enemy on this model. The aluminium body shell resists rust, but the steel subframes, suspension mounting points, and fasteners do not, so a torch-and-ramp inspection underneath is essential. The next MOT is due immediately, and a fresh test would be the most direct way to confirm the car's current roadworthiness beyond the clean paperwork.
