2006 Audi RS4 4.2L Petrol · BX56 DPV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 134,051 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one mile prior. This pattern repeated in July 2024 at 129,361 miles, suggesting the owner proactively addresses minor compliance issues or consumable items that require immediate attention to secure a pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the car covered 9,180 miles, while the subsequent year saw 4,689 miles recorded. This slight fluctuation in usage indicates the vehicle is likely used for occasional leisure trips rather than heavy daily commuting, which generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. Given the clean MOT records in the most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and suspension-related components. At this age and mileage, the RS4 is prone to chassis corrosion, particularly in the sills and subframe mounting points which the MOT tester only flags once structural weakness becomes significant. You should also inspect the front control arm bushings for tearing, as these often perish on high-performance Audis before they trigger a failure. Checking for brake caliper leaks and uneven brake pad wear is also advisable to ensure the lack of recorded defects is not masking underlying mechanical neglect.
