AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Audi A4 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over the past five MOT cycles, with all tests passing without defects or advisories between September 2021 and September 2025. The most recent inspection on 22 September 2025, at 134,420 miles, confirms no issues with critical systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The absence of recurring advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear on high-mileage components like coil springs, suspension bushes, or drivetrain joints. The mileage progression of approximately 2,000 miles annually—from 122,001 miles in August 2021 to 134,420 miles in September 2025—indicates steady, moderate usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age, though it does not account for potential off-record maintenance gaps. The consistent annual mileage increments also imply the owner likely adhered to the annual MOT cycle without skipping tests, reinforcing the reliability of the recorded data. Given the absence of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components prone to wear at this mileage: the suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushes for sagging or cracking; rear brake calipers for binding or excessive wear; and the subframe and wheel arches for corrosion, which often develops undetected in older Audi models. The drivetrain, including constant velocity joints and transfer bearings if equipped, should also be checked for fluid leaks or abnormal play, as these are common failure points in high-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record provides reassurance, a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify the condition of non-testable elements.
