2018 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · BE13 ATT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 July 2025 at 79,065 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have maintained a standard that meets all DVSA safety requirements without immediate intervention required. The mileage pattern is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. A significant interval of 20,078 miles was covered between the July 2023 test at 58,987 miles and the July 2025 test at 79,065 miles, which suggests steady, regular use rather than long periods of stagnation. The lack of mileage-related advisories across the last four tests implies that the previous owners likely addressed routine maintenance, preventing the accelerated degradation often associated with long-term inactivity. The only recorded failure in the history occurred on 21 May 2022 at 37,519 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. The vehicle was repaired and passed the retest three days later. While this was an isolated consumable component failure, a buyer should still inspect the suspension geometry for signs of uneven wear or perished rubber bushes, as these components age alongside the vehicle. Since the record shows no history of recurring brake issues or structural corrosion, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the current condition of the rubber components and the integrity of the exhaust system to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last test.
