2013 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · AE63 UPN

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 30 May 2026 at 208,157 miles, passing with only minor advisories regarding both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. The maintenance trend over the past three years appears broadly stable, with no recurring serious mechanical failures or structural defects. Minor oil leak advisories noted in April 2023 and April 2024 did not reappear in the 2025 or 2026 tests, suggesting either repair or that the seepage remained below the threshold for failure. The record indicates a pattern of addressing faults promptly before each test, though the repeated tyre wear advisories point to ongoing alignment or suspension geometry issues that have not been permanently resolved. The car is thirteen years old with 208,157 recorded miles, averaging approximately 16,012 miles per year, which is notably high for its age. Mileage accumulation has been consistent rather than sparse, with the odometer climbing from 187,235 miles in April 2023 to 191,702 miles in April 2024, then to 198,835 miles in May 2025, and finally to 208,157 miles by May 2026. This represents roughly 9,300 miles in the first twelve-month interval, 7,100 miles in the second, and 9,322 miles in the third, indicating sustained regular use with no prolonged periods of inactivity visible in the record. The MOT history is complete with no gaps, providing a reliable picture of the vehicle's recent mechanical trajectory. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and steering components carefully, as the recurring edge wear on front tyres flagged in the May 2026 test suggests possible worn tracking, deteriorating suspension bushes, or damaged anti-roll bar links. The May 2025 failure for front brake pads below 1.5 millimetres indicates the braking system has been working hard under high-mileage use, so the condition of brake discs, calipers, and rear brake components warrants close examination. The oil leak advisories from 2023 and 2024, while not present in the most recent test, should still be verified by inspecting the engine and gearbox for fresh seepage, rocker cover gasket condition, and the underside of the vehicle for any residue. Given the high annual mileage, the exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter and DPF if fitted, should be assessed for efficiency and structural integrity, along with the condition of coil springs, shock absorbers, and subframe mounting points for corrosion or fatigue.
