Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution before purchasi
A primary concern for this specific Audi A4 is the mileage; at nearly 280,000 miles, many components will be approaching the end of their natural service life. You should prioritize checking the service history for evidence of oil leak repairs, as the 2023 MOT recorded an oil leak and an intermittent oil pressure fault on the dashboard.
When inspecting, verify that the recent brake pad replacement mentioned in the 2024 MOT was carried out comprehensively. Given the previous failures regarding tyres with exposed cords, ensure all four tyres have significant tread and no structural damage. Negotiate the price downward to account for the high probability of upcoming heavy maintenance requirements common to high-mileage diesel engines.
As a 1.9L or 2.0L diesel (1968cc), fuel economy should be relatively efficient for motorway cruising, though high mileage can impact efficiency if the engine is not maintained. This vehicle will likely fall into a mid-range insurance group and tax band typical for a 2013 Audi diesel.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage. While diesel fuel is often more economical for long distances, the cost of replacing components like turbochargers, fuel injectors, or suspension parts—which are common high-mileage items—should be factored into your budget. Expect an annual running cost of approximately £1,400-£1,800 depending on usage and repair frequency.
Focus heavily on the engine bay and underside. The 2023 MOT history specifically noted an 'oil leak, but not excessive' and an 'intermittent oil pressure fault'; you must check if these issues were resolved or if they persist. Any sign of fresh oil pooling or a dashboard warning light during a test drive is a significant red flag.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The MOT history shows a progression from pitted/scored front discs in 2023 to thin rear brake pads in 2024. Finally, check the tyres and suspension; although the 2023 tyre failures were resolved, the model's aggregate data suggests suspension arms are a common failure point for this Audi A4 generation.
This 2013 silver Audi A4 has covered 279,081 miles as of its last MOT, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,134 miles per year. While it passed its most recent test in January 2024, the history shows a pattern of wear-related issues and a notable oil leak recorded in 2023. The vehicle has transitioned through several MOT failures and advisories related to tyres, brakes, and engine warning lights.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to suspension arms, coil springs, and windscreen wipers.
