Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus your attention on the suspension system. The MOT history reveals a persistent pattern of worn front lower and upper suspension arm pins and bushings, as well as oil misting on the rear shock absorbers, spanning from 2023 to 2025. You should confirm whether these components were replaced or repaired prior to the clean MOT in April 2026.
Ensure you review the service records for evidence of a timing belt and water pump change, as these are critical maintenance items for this 2.0L diesel engine given the vehicle's age. Given the 2024 failure related to a dead battery affecting the SRS system, check that the battery is in good health and the airbag warning lights cycle correctly upon ignition.
The 1986cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, which helps keep fuel costs manageable. As a 2010 model, its road tax and insurance group will be reflective of its age and executive class, typically placing it in a mid-range bracket for this segment.
Maintenance costs for an Audi of this vintage can be higher than budget brands, particularly for suspension and braking components. Based on the engine size and age, you should budget for regular fluid changes and the potential replacement of wear-and-tear items common to the A4 range.
Carefully inspect the front suspension; the MOT history specifically flagged both the straight and curved lower arms and the upper arms on both sides for several years. While the 2026 certificate is clean, a physical check for any remaining play or perished rubber bushings is advisable.
Check the rear shock absorbers for any signs of oil leakage, as both the nearside and offside shocks were noted as 'misting' in previous tests. Finally, verify the operation of the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS), as this caused a failure in April 2024, although the record indicates this was due to a battery issue.
This black 2010 Audi A4 has covered 91,576 miles, which is notably below the model's average annual mileage. While the MOT history shows recurring issues with suspension bushings and shock absorbers between 2023 and 2025, the most recent test in April 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Audi A4 maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with common failures typically involving tyres and coil springs.
