2007 Audi A4 1.9L Diesel · SB57 AGY

The 2007 Audi A4 shows a stable maintenance trajectory, with the latest DVSA examination on 20 April 2024 at 140,856 miles resulting in a pass and no defects logged. Earlier tests reveal a consistent pattern of clean results. The single anomaly occurred on 1 April 2022 at 132,131 miles when the vehicle failed despite the tester recording no defects; a retest four days later at 132,160 miles passed. This blip does not indicate a worsening mechanical trend. Recorded mileage stands at 140,856 against an approximate 19-year service life, averaging 7,413 miles per year. From the 29 March 2021 test at 127,014 miles to the 20 April 2024 test, the car added only 13,842 miles. The shallowest stretch saw just 3,327 miles between 5 April 2022 and 28 March 2023. Such restrained accumulation points to gentle use or extended periods off the road. The MOT history remains sparse but unblemished by advisories, suggesting previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A buyer must still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components the annual test did not flag. The records cite no concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion, yet these items degrade on high-mileage German saloons of this vintage. Examine front strut top mounts, rear beam bushes, and brake disc wear for hidden fatigue. The unexplained April 2022 failure warrants a query to the vendor about its cause. As of 16 July 2026 the last MOT expired on 20 April 2025, leaving the vehicle untested for over fifteen months. This gap raises the risk of accumulated moisture corrosion or flat-spotted tyres from standing. Arrange a fresh MOT and mechanical appraisal before funds change hands.
