2011 Audi A4 1.8L Petrol · SJZ 7053

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 84,963 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 15 December 2022 through to the latest check returning a clean result. The lone blemish is a failure on 24 January 2026 at 84,959 miles that listed no defects, reversed four days later by a pass at 84,963 miles; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a 2011 vehicle, totalling 84,963 miles or roughly 5,664 miles per year. The record shows 57,893 miles on 15 December 2022, rising to 65,317 by 12 December 2023, then 75,222 on 1 February 2025 and 84,963 by January 2026. Annual accumulation stays consistent at around 8,000 to 9,900 miles with no sudden jumps or standing gaps. Such light, steady use implies the previous keeper covered modest distances and the sparse, clean MOT entries point to a car kept to basic statutory standard without flagged wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fifteen years. Low mileage combined with age can mask perished rubber components and superficial corrosion on subframes that a no-defect MOT will not capture. The January 2026 failure with zero recorded defects warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to confirm it was paperwork rather than an unlogged fault. Verify in person that exhaust emissions remain within limits and that tyres, though never advised, show no sidewall cracking from age. The history gives no recurring mechanical trend, but the 2011 build means structural integrity around sills and arches deserves a close visual check for rust before purchase.
