Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a high-milea
When inspecting this specific Audi, pay close attention to the suspension system. The MOT history from December 2022 highlighted issues with both nearside and offside front inner suspension arm bushes, as well as reduced damping in the shock absorbers. Ensure these components have been replaced recently and test the car for any knocks or uneven handling during a test drive.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the previous failures related to tyres and washers. Ask for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the braking system and tyres, as the 2022 failure included multiple tyre tread depth and inflation issues. Because this is a diesel model, also verify if the timing belt and water pump have been changed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1968cc engine.
As a 2.0L diesel, this A4 is likely to offer decent fuel economy on longer motorway journeys, though costs will depend on driving style. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Audi A4 vary, but typically fall into mid-range brackets for a premium diesel saloon.
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than non-premium brands, particularly when addressing suspension components or diesel-specific engine parts. Given the recorded MOT failures for shock absorbers and suspension bushes, budget for potential upcoming repairs to the chassis and suspension system.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and steering. The December 2022 MOT failure specifically cited worn inner suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts, and reduced damping in the shock absorbers. Check for any signs of leaking fluid from the shocks or play in the suspension arms.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen and the washer system. The records show a history of windscreen damage (noted in both 2022 and 2024) and a previous failure regarding the windscreen washer not working. Finally, inspect the condition of all tyres and the security of the front bumper and headlamps, as these were previously flagged as issues during the 2022 inspection.
This 2013 Audi A4 (BT63EUL) is a 2.0L diesel with 138,690 miles recorded at its last MOT in July 2024. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wear, specifically regarding shock absorbers, suspension bushes, and tyre maintenance. Given the vehicle has covered significantly more than the model average of 8,166 miles per year, any potential buyer should account for the age and usage of its components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.8% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres, coil springs, and engine mil inoperative.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Water Pump / Thermostat Housing LeakModerate
The plastic water pump and thermostat housing warp and leak coolant, a well-known weakness across the EA888 range. Some cars fail twice before 100k miles.
- Multitronic CVT FailureSerious
Front-wheel-drive automatics use the Multitronic CVT which can judder, flare or lose drive if fluid changes were skipped or the control unit fails.
- Timing Chain Tensioner FailureSerious
Pre-2013 EA888 Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines have a plastic timing chain tensioner that can fail, causing chain slack and potential engine destruction.
