2006 Audi A4 4.2L Petrol · A771 GER

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 April 2025 at 89,642 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 25 April 2024 at 87,507 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the five-year record, and the upkeep pattern is consistent rather than deteriorating. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2006 vehicle, totalling 89,642 miles or roughly 4,482 miles per year. The gap between the 2 February 2022 test at 77,533 miles and the 26 January 2023 test at 86,455 miles accounts for nearly 9,000 miles in under twelve months, after which annual use dropped sharply to around 1,000 to 2,000 miles. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a failed test on 24 April 2024 at 87,506 miles that recorded no defects and passed the next day, suggesting an administrative or presentational issue rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and periods of low use. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake components even when the MOT shows no advisories. The tester logged no rust or binding calipers, yet twenty-year-old Audis commonly develop subframe deterioration hidden beneath sills. Verify the 24 April 2024 failure cause at the testing station and confirm the odometer reading of 87,506 miles against the immediate pass at 87,507 miles. Check exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition before purchase, as the record offers no evidence of consumable neglect but provides no insight beyond pass outcomes.
