Our Verdict

This 2010 Audi A4 diesel presents a mixe

When inspecting this 2010 Audi A4, verify the reason behind the May 2024 MOT failure, as the specific defect was not recorded in the test summary. Given the diesel engine size of 1968.0cc, check for proper operation of the engine management system and emissions equipment, keeping in mind that model-wide top MOT failure reasons include engine MIL inoperative, tyres, and coil springs. Negotiate the price based on a thorough review of the paper service history to complement the digital MOT record.

Ensure all documentation is present and cross-reference the mileage progression (from 131,631 miles in April 2023 to 153,020 miles in August 2026) against any physical service stamps. Check the condition of wear-and-tear items such as suspension components, brakes, and tyres, which are common trouble spots across the A4 model range.

This 2010 Audi A4 features a 1968.0cc diesel engine, which typically offers competitive fuel economy for motorway driving, though urban fuel consumption may be higher. Vehicle tax falls under standard diesel banding rules depending on emissions, and insurance will likely sit in a moderate-to-high group typical for a mid-size executive diesel saloon.

Maintenance costs for an older Audi can be higher than mainstream alternatives, especially if suspension parts like coil springs or complex engine ancillaries require replacement. Factoring in fuel, insurance, tax, and routine servicing, the estimated annual running cost sits around £1,400 to £1,800.

Pay close attention to the suspension and undercarriage, as model-wide data indicates coil springs are a frequent MOT failure point for the A4. Inspect the tyre tread depth and condition carefully, as tyres also feature prominently in the top failure reasons for this vehicle category.

Given the 153,020-mile odometer reading, listen closely to the 1968.0cc diesel engine for any unusual rattles from the timing chain or components, and check the dashboard for any illuminated warning lights relating to the engine MIL or DPF system. A comprehensive inspection of the brakes, steering joints, and general structural integrity is essential given the age and mileage.

First registered in May 2010, this black Audi A4 is powered by a 1968.0cc diesel engine and has covered 153,020 miles as of August 2026. The MOT history records a pass on 2026-08-21 at 153,020 miles with no defects, following clean passes in 2025 and 2023. However, the record also includes a failure on 2024-05-18 at 140,174 miles, which was rectified for a pass a week later.

The Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.7% across 306,616 analysed vehicles, with tyres, coil springs, and engine MIL inoperative being the top failure reasons.
