2016 AUDI A42.0L Diesel

The 2016 Audi A4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 February 2026 at 95,082 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Recorded mileage sits at 95,082 against a ten-year life, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 28 June 2023 test at 79,567 miles and the 9 July 2024 test at 89,196 miles shows about 9,600 miles in twelve months, a normal rate. A short 54-mile gap separates the 3 July 2024 failure at 89,115 miles and the 9 July 2024 pass at 89,196 miles; the failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentational issue at the first centre rather than a mechanical fault. The clean advisory history means no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion items require targeted follow-up from the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades, as MOT passes do not certify component life beyond the test day. Given the absent defect pattern and ordinary mileage, prior owners appear to have maintained the car to test standard without neglect. The single anomalous 2024 failure with no defects logged warrants a check of the original refusal reason, but the immediate evidence points to a sound used purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
