2008 AUDI A41.9L Diesel

The Audi A4 passed its most recent MOT on 28 July 2025 at 189,339 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the surrounding record shows two same-day fail-pass pairs that warrant scrutiny rather than reassurance. Mileage advanced from 167,037 in the 4 July 2023 test to 179,260 by 22 July 2024, then to 189,339 by 25 July 2025, averaging near the 10,500 annual norm for an 18-year-old car. The data is sparse, with only three test years logged and no advisories or defects ever listed, which limits insight into wear on consumables and mechanical parts. On 22 July 2024 the tester failed the car at 179,260 miles yet logged no defects, then passed it the same day on a fresh certificate. The same pattern repeated on 25 and 28 July 2025 at 189,338 and 189,339 miles. Such entries usually point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station, not a mechanical fault, but they leave the buyer unable to trust the "no defects" claim as proof of condition. Given the clean-but-thin history, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion before purchase. At 189,339 miles the drivetrain and exhaust emissions system also merit a hands-on check, since the MOT record offers no evidence either way on their current state.
