2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RU63 BYY

The 2016 Audi A4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT on 2025-06-24 at 71,864 miles, which passed without defects. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 show mixed outcomes, including a failed test on 2024-07-23 at 68,785 miles and another on 2023-09-12 at 66,056 miles, though neither recorded defects. This pattern suggests the vehicle has consistently met regulatory standards in its latest assessment, with no immediate mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The absence of defects in the most recent test indicates the car is currently in acceptable condition, though the prior failures without recorded issues warrant cautious scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,864 miles over 10 years aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,186 miles annually. However, the MOT history reveals irregular testing intervals, with a gap of 10 months between the 2023-09-14 test at 66,057 miles and the 2024-07-24 test at 68,802 miles. A subsequent test on 2024-07-23, just one day prior, recorded a near-identical mileage of 68,785 miles, raising questions about procedural consistency. These gaps and overlapping dates do not indicate excessive wear but highlight a lack of regular inspection, which could mask gradual deterioration in components like suspension or braking systems. A buyer should prioritise in-person checks for suspension components, particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the 2023-09-12 failure without recorded issues suggests potential oversight in prior inspections. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion in hidden areas may not appear in MOT records. While the car meets current standards, its maintenance history underscores the need for a thorough mechanical inspection to confirm long-term reliability.
