2016 Audi A4 Sport Ultra TDI 2.0L Diesel · GXZ 303

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-25 at 80,406 miles resulted in a pass, but a preceding failure on 2025-09-13 at 80,066 miles—just 12 days earlier—indicates inconsistent compliance. No defects were recorded in either test, suggesting potential administrative errors or minor issues resolved rapidly. The prior tests in 2024 and 2023 at 69,851 and 59,763 miles, respectively, were both passed with no defects, establishing a stable trend until the late 2025 failure. This abrupt shift raises questions about the vehicle’s maintenance consistency, particularly given the lack of recorded faults during the failure. The mileage progression shows a steady 8,000-mile annual average, aligning with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle. However, a 10-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs—covering 10,088 miles—exceeds the standard six-month interval, potentially indicating periods of unregistered use or neglect. The subsequent 14-month span from 2024 to 2025 saw a 10,545-mile increase, which is within normal parameters but underscores the need to verify service records for components like brakes, suspension, and exhaust, which degrade with mileage. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the rear brakes, suspension bushes, and exhaust system, as these are common wear points at this mileage. The 2025 failure, though unrecorded, may hint at transient issues requiring follow-up. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody, and brake disc thickness should also be checked. The absence of advisories in prior tests suggests no immediate risks, but the recent failure warrants scrutiny of how the vehicle was maintained between 2024 and 2025.
