2021 Audi A4 S LN Black ED 35TDI Mhev SA 2.0L Diesel · J24 GDR

The Audi A4 presents a fully clean MOT record with zero defects across both recorded tests, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle at present. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 61,318 miles passed with no advisories or failures whatsoever. The previous test on 30 May 2025 at 52,132 miles was equally clean. This is a strong baseline, showing no recurring mechanical or structural faults over the documented period. The vehicle has covered approximately 9,186 miles in the twelve months between the two tests, which is consistent with the overall annual average of roughly 12,264 miles per year across its five-year life. This is notably high for a car of this age and suggests sustained regular use rather than prolonged standing, which can itself cause issues such as flat-spotted tyres, seized brakes, and deteriorated rubber components. The mileage accumulation pattern is steady with no suspicious gaps in the MOT record that would indicate extended periods off the road or a tampered odometer. Despite the clean paperwork, a high-mileage turbo-diesel of this age warrants close physical inspection of several key areas. The 35TDI engine's turbocharger, dual-mass flywheel, and diesel particulate filter should be examined for wear consistent with sustained motorway or mixed-use driving. Suspension components including front lower arm bushes, rear trailing arm bushes, and anti-roll bar links are common wear items on heavily used A4 platforms and may not yet have reached failure point but should be checked for play. Brake discs and pads, particularly at the rear where binding calipers are a known issue on this generation, merit direct inspection even though no fault was flagged. The MHEV mild-hybrid system's 48-volt battery and belt starter-generator should be verified for correct operation, as degradation in these systems can trigger costly repairs not always visible at MOT. Structurally, the subframes, inner wing arches, and sill bases should be inspected for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used extensively on salted winter roads. Tyre condition and date codes should also be checked, as high annual mileage accelerates wear unevenly depending on driving style and alignment. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent specialist familiar with the B9 A4 platform is strongly recommended before committing.
