2004 Audi A4 3.0L Petrol · AJ04 WOY

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 June 2024 at 121,547 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester recorded no defects at that test. Prior to the pass, the vehicle failed on 19 June 2024 at the same mileage, though the failure entry lists no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The pattern repeats from 2022, when a failure on 31 August at 116,531 miles with no defects recorded preceded a pass on 1 September at 116,533 miles. The mileage sits low for a 2004 vehicle, totalling 121,547 miles or roughly 5,525 per year. Between the 21 September 2021 test at 107,824 miles and the 1 September 2022 pass at 116,533 miles, the car covered 8,709 miles in under a year, a modest rise above its annual average. From September 2022 to June 2024 the odometer moved only 5,014 miles, indicating lighter recent use or periods of standing. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories or worn consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes ever flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT history shows no advisories but a 22-year-old Audi body is prone to subframe and sill rust unseen in a pass with no defects noted. The twin failure-then-pass sequences in 2022 and 2024, both with zero defects logged, imply the previous owners addressed whatever halted the initial tests swiftly, yet the absence of written faults denies us clarity on brake or emission checks performed. Given the low annual mileage and clean sheets, basic upkeep looks adequate rather than neglected. Verify the 19 June 2024 and 31 August 2022 failures were procedural by requesting the full DVSA failure reasons, and examine coil springs, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase.
