2014 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · BD64 XPC

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its latest MOT on 1 July 2026 at 131,570 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears improved following a period of reactive repairs. While the car suffered from multiple failures in previous years, the last three consecutive annual tests have passed without any advisories, suggesting that the current owner is actively addressing mechanical faults once they are identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The data shows a steady rate of use, moving from 79,617 miles in November 2018 to 131,570 miles in July 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of standing, which often leads to seal degradation or seized components. However, the high mileage places significant demand on high-mileage components, particularly the suspension geometry and braking assembly. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems as these areas show a history of failure. The 2024 failure revealed a leaking offside rear shock absorber and two fractured coil springs, which indicates significant wear on the rubber bushings and metal components. Furthermore, the offside front service brake was flagged for binding in both 2022 and 2024. An inspector should check for persistent caliper sticking, uneven pad wear, or disc scoring to ensure the underlying issue has been rectified rather than masked. Given the history of tyre-related structural failures in 2020 and 2022, verifying the current wheel alignment and condition of the tyres is also essential.
