2013 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · AX62 BXL

The 2026‑02‑14 MOT passed the 2013 Audi A4 at 168,732 miles, confirming roadworthiness despite recorded advisories. Repeated brake disc wear, anti‑roll bar pin and bush wear, and suspension arm pin wear across successive tests show a stable but deteriorating maintenance pattern rather than improvement. Mileage has risen from 49,901 miles in December 2015 to 168,732 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 13,000 miles per year, which is high for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The interval from the 2024‑02‑19 test at 142,015 miles to the 2026‑02‑14 test adds 26,717 miles in just over two years, indicating accelerated usage. Earlier gaps, such as the one‑year span between the 2019‑02‑16 test and the 2020‑02‑15 test with only a 10,724‑mile increase, suggest relatively consistent driving rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension bushes and anti‑roll bar pins for excessive play, verify that the brake discs are within thickness limits and free of deep scoring, and inspect the calipers for binding, especially given the 2021 failure of an off‑side front service brake that was excessively binding. The history also records a dislodged coil spring and an unsafe modification, so the spring mounting and any aftermarket alterations must be confirmed as sound. Finally, check for the centre exhaust clamp corrosion noted in 2019 and ensure tyre sizes are uniform, as mismatched or space‑saver tyres can affect handling and wear.
