2005 Audi A4 1.9L Diesel · CU05 TSZ

The most recent MOT test occurred on 21 December 2021 at 195,383 miles, resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. A preceding test on 14 December 2021 at the exact same mileage records a fail outcome despite also listing no defects, suggesting an aborted test or an unrecorded rectification. The maintenance trend remains impossible to assess as stable or worsening because the vehicle has been off the road or untested for over four and a half years. As of July 2026, this Audi A4 has no valid MOT, rendering it untaxed and uninsured for standard road use. The recorded mileage of 195,383 miles equates to roughly 9,304 miles per year, a typical annual distance for a vehicle of this age. Yet, the mileage has remained completely static at 195,383 miles across both December 2021 tests and remains unchanged in the current record. This stagnation strongly indicates the car has stood stationary for a prolonged period since late 2021. Long-term standing causes its own mechanical degradation, including seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and deteriorated rubber components, regardless of the low annual mileage average. Given the absence of recent testing and the likelihood of prolonged static storage, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection before attempting to drive the vehicle. Focus heavily on the braking system, where binding calipers and corroded brake discs are highly probable after years of inactivity. Inspect all rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing and corrosion, as these degrade with age and lack of use rather than mileage alone. Check the exhaust system for structural rust and verify the condition of the tyres, which will almost certainly suffer from flat-spotting and sidewall cracking after sitting stationary for over four years. The lack of recent MOT entries means the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points requires close scrutiny for advanced corrosion.
