2005 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · CU05 TXP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 100%, but this rating is contingent upon the stability of the MOT trend relative to the current date. The tester flagged a binding condition on the rear brakes and binding calipers in the September 2023 test, indicating that these components have been inspected and corrected. The most recent record from March 2023 was passed with no defects, confirming that the binding calipers were tightened and the brake discs lubricated, suggesting that the mechanical wear has resolved. The mileage pattern shows a clear accumulation of 177,111 miles over approximately 21 years, which is consistent with the vehicle's age. This high mileage reflects the wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, as well as potential issues in the suspension and drivetrain. The vehicle has not shown rapid acceleration of mileage since the 2020 test, where it passed at 158,782 miles, suggesting that the wear rate has stabilized or improved since then. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the binding calipers and brake discs, as the MOT history indicates they have been tightened and lubricated. The suspension bushings and coil springs should also be checked for structural integrity, as the 2023 test highlighted binding issues that require professional adjustment. If the buyer proceeds with purchase, they must confirm that the brake binding calipers and discs have been tightened and that the suspension bushings and coil springs are in good condition before the vehicle is sold.
