2018 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · AJ18 FBB

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test. The tester passed the car with no defects on 17 February 2026 at 98,261 miles. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with every pass carrying a clean sheet and no advisories logged for worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or failing brake components. Mileage sits high for an eight year old vehicle. The record shows 75,446 miles on 27 July 2023, then a jump to 92,255 miles by 24 July 2024, implying roughly 16,800 miles in that single year against an overall average near 12,283. Distance travelled dropped sharply thereafter: only 3,745 miles to the 14 February 2025 pass at 96,000, and a mere 2,261 miles to February 2026. The sparse five entry history gives little granular wear data, but the step change in use from 2023 to 2024 points to a period of heavy commuting that later eased. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT slate. The February 2026 pass arrived four days after a 13 February failure logged at 98,257 miles with no defects cited, a pattern that often masks an administrative rectification rather than a mechanical fix. Given the 2023 to 2024 high mileage spell, scrutinise front coil springs, track rod ends, and brake disc thickness for fatigue not yet captured by the tester. Check underneath for structural corrosion around sills and suspension mounts, and confirm tyre tread depth and sidewall condition after the low use recent period. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the car from consumable wear on a high mileage German estate drivetrain.
