A5 GFR MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Audi A4 (A5 GFR) between August 2024 and July 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 30 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (14 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 21 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Nearside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
The primary focus for a buyer should be the braking system. With advisories for worn discs in 2024 and 2025, and thin pads flagged in 2026, a full brake overhaul is likely imminent. Use these documented needs to negotiate the purchase price.
Additionally, verify the quality of the repairs carried out in 2025 regarding the offside front lower suspension arm and the nearside front CV boot. Ensure there is evidence of these repairs in the service records, as these are critical components for the vehicle's handling and safety.
The 1968cc diesel engine typically offers strong fuel economy for motorway driving, though annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and mileage. Insurance groups for the A4 are generally mid-range, but maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car given its history of suspension and brake wear.
Expected annual expenditures will include diesel fuel, road tax, and insurance, alongside a budget for the frequent replacement of wear-and-tear items seen in the MOT history.
Prioritise an inspection of the brakes; the July 2026 MOT explicitly notes that the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside front brake pads are wearing thin. Check the condition of the front suspension bushings and the CV boots, referencing the 2025 failure of the offside front suspension arm and nearside front boot.
Finally, check the headlamp alignment. This vehicle failed its MOT in both 2025 and 2026 due to incorrect headlamp aim, which may suggest a recurring adjustment issue or damage to the mounting brackets.
This grey 2015 Audi A4 diesel has recorded 123,829 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of braking issues and suspension wear, including failures for a CV boot and suspension arm in 2025. The most recent test in July 2026 passed but left advisories for wearing brake pads on three of the four wheels.
The Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with suspension arms identified as a top failure reason across the model range.
