AUDI A42012 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 171,307 miles. The maintenance history indicates a consistent pattern of proactive rectification, as the owner successfully addressed issues immediately following test failures. The failure in December 2025 occurred just two days prior to the pass, suggesting a minor component failure, such as a bulb or a minor sensor fault, that was quickly resolved rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 171,307 reflects a high usage profile, averaging approximately 12,236 miles per year. The data shows steady and consistent accumulation, with roughly 9,650 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 9,634 miles in the year leading up to the December 2025 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has likely been used for motorway commuting, which typically results in more even wear on drivetrain and suspension components compared to short-trip urban driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the high-wear components inherent to this mileage bracket. Given the age and distance, a thorough check of the control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary as these parts often degrade under constant load. While the MOT record shows no structural advisories, the high mileage justifies a close inspection for surface corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound despite the clean test results.
