2010 AUDI A42.0L Diesel

This Audi A4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 121,771 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed the day prior on 12 May 2025, the absence of listed defects suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial rectification that did not warrant a detailed entry. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered approximately 7,611 miles per year, showing steady usage over the last four years. Between the April 2022 test at 118,220 miles and the May 2025 test at 121,771 miles, the car added 3,551 miles. This low annual accumulation in recent years suggests the vehicle may have spent periods standing or was used for short commutes. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 16 year old vehicle, with no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across five consecutive tests. Such a void of recorded wear suggests either an exceptional standard of preventative maintenance or a tester who has been lenient with minor consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT record does not capture in detail. Priority should be given to checking for structural rust on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these often deteriorate on Audi models of this era regardless of a clean test sheet. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical drivetrain components are not assessed during a standard MOT.
