2006 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · WG56 ADZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-15 at 95,797 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-10-09 (90,071 miles) and 2023-10-16 (82,576 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a failed test on 2024-10-07 at 90,068 miles—despite no defects recorded—raises questions about potential unresolved concerns. The lack of defect details limits definitive conclusions, but the absence of recurring faults in subsequent tests implies the issue was likely minor and rectified. The vehicle’s mileage of 95,797 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 4,790 miles annually, below the average for its age. This suggests light usage or periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion. Notably, the 2023-10-16 test at 82,576 miles shows a 7,500-mile jump to 90,071 miles by 2024-10-09, indicating a possible surge in usage. Such fluctuations may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres or suspension components, though no defects were noted in the subsequent tests. The MOT history lacks detailed fault records, making it challenging to assess long-term mechanical trends beyond the stated passes. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade in older vehicles. The exhaust system and brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to their susceptibility to corrosion and wear. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the chassis and body panels, given the car’s age. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the 2024 failed test and low mileage pattern suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify any latent issues not captured in the official reports.
