2006 Audi A4 Avant SE TDI 140 2.0L Heavy oil · YEZ 7838

The 2006 Audi A4 Avant SE TDI 140 presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 15 January 2023 at 182,044 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations in February 2022 at 170,042 miles and January 2020 at 144,803 miles also passed clean. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,100 miles, typical for a twenty-year-old estate. The gap between the January 2020 test at 144,803 miles and the February 2022 test at 170,042 miles covers two MOT cycles with only one recorded pass, suggesting either a missed 2021 test or unrecorded low-use period. From 2019 to 2023 the car added about 50,600 miles, a steady accumulation that implies regular but not excessive use by prior owners. The only blemish is a failed test on 28 January 2019 at 131,431 miles, reversed two days later on 30 January 2019 at 131,450 miles with a clean pass and no defects logged. This pattern points to an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across five tests suggests the vehicle was presented in sound order, though DVSA testers do not strip components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 182,044 miles. Verify the timing belt and diesel injector service history, as the TDI 140 drivetrain demands scheduled intervention absent from MOT data. Check for worn suspension arms and binding calipers through a road test, since a clean MOT does not confirm consumable condition three years on from the last recorded test.
