AUDI A42020 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 20 November 2025 at 95,808 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed immediately. Since the failure in late 2024, the car has maintained a clean record, suggesting the current owner responds to testing requirements. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. The data shows significant usage between intervals, with 16,815 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024. This rapid accumulation puts accelerated stress on high-wear components such as the suspension bushings, braking system, and drivetrain. While the test history is consistent, the high mileage suggests the vehicle has likely seen long-distance motorway use rather than short urban trips. The failure on 5 December 2024 at 82,324 miles highlights a lapse in basic upkeep, as the tester flagged a dangerously worn nearside rear tyre and exposed cords on the offside rear. While these consumables were rectified for the re-test, a buyer should personally inspect the current tyres for uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the front suspension arms and shock absorbers is essential, as these components often reach the end of their service life near the 100,000- mark.
