AUDI A42014 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent MOT test. Following a failure in June 2023, the car has passed two consecutive tests over the last two years without any recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum standard. This represents an improving trend compared to the early 2023 failure, suggesting that the previous owner proactively addressed any issues identified during that specific testing period. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 15,497 miles, which is a significant spike above the annual average. However, the interval between June 2022 and June 2023 showed a lower rate of accumulation with 12,031 miles recorded. This steady high-mile operation suggests the car does not sit idle, which prevents certain issues like fluid degradation, but also implies significant accumulated wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. Given the 152,070 miles recorded, a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to check for play or leaks. While the recent records show no defects, the high mileage increases the likelihood of binding calipers or thinning brake discs. The buyer should also inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly on subframe mounting points, as high-mileage vehicles often encounter varied road conditions that accelerate structural integrity issues over time.
