Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough check of the front suspension. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 show repeated issues with upper suspension arm pins and bushes; you should verify whether these components were fully replaced or merely patched. Given the mileage, ensure there is documented evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this 1968cc diesel engine.
The 2.0L diesel engine is typically efficient for motorway cruising, but at nearly 180,000 miles, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average. You should budget for more frequent component replacements, particularly for wear-and-tear items like tyres and suspension bushings, which have been recurring themes in this vehicle's history.
Carefully inspect the front suspension and the nearside front CV boot, following the failure and subsequent pass recorded in August 2024. The braking system requires attention, specifically the offside front, due to the 'excessively binding' failure recorded in July 2025. Finally, check the nearside rear tyre, as the July 2026 MOT specifically noted a nail and tread worn close to the legal limit.
This 2010 black Audi A4 diesel has covered 179,164 miles, which is notably above the model average. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wear, specifically regarding suspension arm pins and bushes, as well as a 2025 failure for binding brakes. It passed its most recent test in July 2026, although advisories for tyre wear and a nail in the tyre remain.
The Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with tyres and coil springs identified as the most common failure points across the model range.
