2013 AUDI A42.0L Diesel

The 2013 Audi A4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 111,767 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 27 September 2024 at 107,761 miles also showed a clean sheet. Across the available DVSA history the vehicle has avoided any advisory or failure linked to wear items, suggesting consistent upkeep rather than deferred rectification. Mileage sits at 111,767 against a 13-year lifespan, an average of roughly 8,600 miles per year and typical for the model age. The record shows a gap between 15 December 2020 at 99,043 miles and 23 February 2022 at 104,439 miles, then near-dormant use through to 2024 with only 3,322 miles added. A single failed test on 22 February 2022 at 104,439 miles was followed by a pass the next day at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT lineage, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues appear in the data. The sparse history offers little evidence of neglected consumables, though the low annual use from 2022 onward can allow brake calipers to seize or tyres to degrade through standing. A buyer should still confirm in person that the braking system is free, the exhaust emissions remain within limits, and structural integrity under arches and sills is sound. Pre-purchase inspection should prioritise a road test for binding calipers and a visual check of tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-mileage storage. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related wear on dampers and bushings not yet due for test failure.
