2012 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · RV62 ABZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 6 November 2025 at 141,684 miles. This test resulted in a pass following an initial failure on the same day, though the DVSA record does not specify the exact nature of the defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has successfully cleared its annual inspections for the past three years without any recorded advisories. While the lack of detailed failure data in the public record complicates a granular assessment of specific component longevity, the consistent pass rate suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard. With a total of 141,684 miles accumulated over 14 years, the vehicle averages approximately 10,120 miles per annum. This rate of use is entirely typical for a diesel-powered Audi A4 of this vintage, indicating regular, consistent usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage motorway commuting. The mileage progression between the 116,655 miles recorded in November 2023 and the current 141,684 miles shows an increase of roughly 25,000 miles over the last two years, confirming the car remains in active service. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often escape notice during a standard MOT. Given the age and mileage, check the condition of the suspension control arm bushes and ball joints, as these are common failure points on this platform that can cause uneven tyre wear or steering vagueness. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or thinning, and verify the operation of the electronic parking brake. Listen for any audible signs of timing chain tensioner fatigue or turbocharger whine during a cold start, as these mechanical systems will be reaching the end of their design life at this mileage.
