2008 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · CK58 ERJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, despite its significant age. The most recent test conducted in December 2021 at 145,213 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met all safety and environmental standards at that time. However, because over four years have elapsed since this last official inspection, the current mechanical condition of the vehicle cannot be verified and a fresh MOT is mandatory to identify any recent degradation or neglected repairs. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between June 2018 and December 2021, the car covered 29,117 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The gap between the 2019 and 2020 tests suggests a period of lower activity, while the immediate failure in December 2020 at 136,724 miles followed by a pass just 18 miles later indicates a minor, likely light-bulb or consumable-related fault that was rectified quickly before the subsequent test. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear on this Audi platform. Given the high mileage and age, examine the suspension bushes, control arm bolts, and coil springs for fatigue or perished rubber, which often affect handling. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system, as these are common failure points over eighteen years. Since no advisories were noted in the December 2021 test, a thorough check of the brake system and tyre integrity is essential to ensure the vehicle has not developed mechanical issues during the long interval since its last recorded inspection.
