2007 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · AD56 KBZ

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 February 2025 at 152,143 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 12 February 2024 at 148,453 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 1 February 2024 at 148,408 miles, reversed nine days later at 148,453 miles with no defects listed on either entry, which points to an administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Mileage behaviour across the record is irregular and warrants scrutiny. The test on 7 December 2021 shows 233,964 miles, yet the next recorded test on 21 November 2022 drops to 142,767 miles, a 91,197-mile reduction that is physically impossible without a clerical error in the DVSA data. From November 2022 to February 2025 the odometer climbs steadily from 142,767 to 152,143 miles, an average of roughly 3,700 miles per year, well below the 8,008 annual norm for a 19-year-old car. The sparse, defect-free history gives little insight into wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage against service books and V5C given the 2021 anomaly. With no advisories logged on any pass, the tester recorded no worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or failing brake discs, but a 2007 car at this age commonly hides structural rust beneath sills and arches that a clean MOT does not capture. Prior to purchase, inspect the front coil springs, rear trailing arm bushes, and exhaust emissions at cold start. The rapid re-test after the February 2024 failure suggests the owner addressed the issue promptly, implying reasonable responsiveness even if record-keeping was loose.
