2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · BO55 RYE

This 2012 Audi A4 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past four years, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of its MOT tests. The most recent test on 2025-07-11—just ten months ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without issue, despite an unusual duplicate entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage). This suggests the vehicle has consistently met MOT standards, though the duplicate record warrants verification of whether a genuine oversight occurred or if the vehicle was retested after a minor issue. There is no evidence of recurring or worsening mechanical concerns in the official record, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals. The mileage progression of approximately 8,287 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2024 and 2023 tests—9,162 miles in a year—is slightly above the average. This could indicate a period of heavier use or a brief lapse in regular servicing. The most notable irregularity is the identical mileage (116,017) for the 2025 tests, which may imply either a reset error or that the vehicle was driven very little between tests. Without service records, it is impossible to confirm whether critical maintenance—such as timing belt checks, differential fluid changes, or suspension inspections—was performed at the manufacturer-recommended intervals. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the lack of advisories does not account for subtle degradation in friction materials or hydraulic systems. Corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe is also worth examining, especially if the vehicle has been stored in wet conditions. The duplicate MOT entry at the same mileage suggests a potential for administrative errors, so verifying the vehicle’s true service history—including service books or receipts—is essential to confirm whether preventative maintenance has been neglected.
