2009 Audi A4 SE TDI 6SP 2.0L Diesel · AV59 OHF

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 26 February 2026 at 219,030 miles with zero defects recorded. That most recent certificate, issued just under four months ago, is highly relevant to the current date of 2026-06-17 and provides strong evidence that the car met all roadworthiness standards at its last examination. The previous test on 10 January 2024 also recorded no defects despite being a failure, suggesting the failure was administrative or procedural rather than mechanical, and the subsequent retest confirmed the underlying condition was sound. The annual mileage accumulation of roughly 12,884 miles is notably high for a 2009 vehicle, which typically expects around 8,000 to 12,000 miles per year. The record shows a clear acceleration in use between December 2022 at 181,292 miles and January 2024 at 194,609 miles, covering approximately 13,317 miles in just over twelve months. The pace then steadied to around 11,754 miles between January 2024 and February 2025, before climbing again to roughly 11,640 miles by February 2026. There are no suspicious gaps in the testing record that would suggest prolonged periods off the road, and the consistent annual testing pattern indicates the car has been in regular active service throughout its life. Despite the clean MOT record, a high-mileage Audi A4 of this age warrants careful physical inspection. The TDI drivetrain and six-speed manual gearbox should be assessed for clutch wear, dual-mass flywheel play, and turbocharger oil seepage, all common failure points at this mileage. Suspension components including front lower arm bushes, rear trailing arm bushes, and coil springs deserve close scrutiny, as high-mileage use accelerates deterioration of these wear items even when they pass a static MOT inspection. The exhaust system, particularly the DPF and associated pressure sensors, should be checked for efficiency and fault codes, given the diesel engine's sensitivity to short-trip use. Corrosion around the sills, subframes, and inner wing arches is a known concern on B7-generation A4s and must be inspected with the car on a ramp, as surface rust noted in earlier years may have progressed beneath the surface despite passing successive tests.
