2010 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · L21 RDD

The May 2025 test at 135,016 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, continuing a sequence of four consecutive trouble-free examinations. This indicates a stable maintenance trend across the inspected period, although the certificate expired in May 2026 leaving the vehicle currently without a valid MOT. The absence of any recorded corrosion, braking imbalance, or suspension wear at each annual check suggests the core structure and major systems have been holding up well under test conditions. Mileage accumulation has been remarkably consistent, averaging roughly 7,000 to 8,300 miles per year between tests. The odometer climbed from 112,843 miles in May 2022 to 119,741 miles in May 2023, then to 128,057 miles in April 2024, and finally to the current 135,016 miles. This steady progression aligns with the 8,400-mile annual average for a sixteen-year-old executive saloon and shows no evidence of clocking, extended storage, or sudden intensive use that might accelerate hidden fatigue. A clean MOT history is reassuring but it does not guarantee current roadworthiness fifteen months on from the last inspection. Brake discs and pads on these platforms often wear unevenly once the binding caliper slider pins seize, a fault that can develop rapidly between tests. Front suspension control arm bushes and anti-roll bar links tend to degrade silently until play becomes excessive, while the rear subframe mounting points are a known corrosion trap on the B8 chassis. Verify the timing belt and water pump change interval; the 2.0 TFSI and TDI engines demand this service every five years or 80,000 miles, and a gap here risks catastrophic engine failure. Check tyre date codes and sidewall condition, as the tester recorded no tread depth advisories yet the rubber may now be hardened by age.The May 2025 test at 135,016 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, continuing a sequence of four consecutive trouble-free examinations.
