2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · LA04 AGO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-30 at 100,023 miles passed without defects, though it follows a failed test just two days earlier at 100,013 miles—a rare but notable anomaly given the lack of recorded issues. The preceding clean passes in 2024 and 2023 suggest a stable maintenance pattern, though the back-to-back tests in May 2025 imply either a rushed inspection or a minor oversight in pre-test preparation. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, which is unusual given the vehicle’s age, as even well-maintained cars typically accumulate minor wear over 100,000 miles. The absence of structural or drivetrain advisories is a positive sign, but the sudden retest raises cautious questions about whether the tester overlooked something critical or if the vehicle was driven between tests. The mileage progression shows consistent annual averages of around 9,000 miles, which is typical for a car of this age. There are no prolonged gaps or abrupt spikes, indicating steady use rather than neglect or excessive wear. The only irregularity is the 18,000-mile jump between the 2023 and 2024 tests, which could reflect seasonal driving patterns or a temporary increase in usage. However, without advisories or failures during that period, there’s no evidence of accelerated component failure. The lack of pre-MOT servicing records means we cannot confirm whether routine maintenance—such as brake fluid changes, suspension servicing, or timing belt inspections—was performed as recommended for a 2015 Audi A4. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that often fail without prior warning. The suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as Audi models of this era are prone to bush deterioration over 100,000 miles. Brake calipers and discs should be examined for binding or excessive lateral wear, as the sudden retest could hint at a minor brake-related issue that wasn’t fully addressed. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, must also be assessed, as rust can compromise the chassis without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as catalytic converter failures are common in older Audis and often go unnoticed until emissions tests fail.
