Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a sol
When inspecting this 2.0L diesel, pay close attention to the front suspension. The 2025 MOT recorded worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. Ensure these have been replaced with quality parts rather than just being monitored.
Given the mileage has exceeded 150,000, you should request evidence of any major cambelt or water pump replacements, as these are critical for the 1968cc engine. Additionally, check the service history for regular oil changes, as high-mileage diesel engines are sensitive to maintenance intervals. Negotiate on the basis of the high mileage, even if the recent MOT was a pass.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Audi A4 is likely to offer efficient motorway running costs, though urban driving may impact fuel economy. You should expect a moderate insurance group typical for a premium German saloon of this era.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while the MOT history shows relatively minor issues like tyres and bushes, larger components like coil springs or engine sensors are common failure points for this model aggregate. Expect annual running costs to be influenced by the high mileage, which may necessitate more frequent component replacements.
Focus heavily on the suspension and steering. The MOT history specifically flagged worn lower suspension arm pins/bushes in 2025. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds over bumps, which could indicate that these components or the shock absorbers are failing.
Check the condition of the tyres and wheel alignment. The 2022 MOT recorded multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit or on the edges. Uneven tyre wear can be a symptom of incorrect tracking or worn suspension components. Finally, check the engine for any signs of oil leaks or unusual noises, keeping in mind that engine management issues are a top failure reason for this model type.
This 2010 Audi A4 diesel, finished in grey, has covered 158,155 miles as of its July 2026 MOT. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of intermittent MOT advisories, specifically concerning tyres in 2022 and suspension bushes in 2025. However, the most recent test in July 2026 recorded no defects, indicating the previous suspension issues may have been addressed.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres, coil springs, and engine management components.
