2004 Audi A4 1.9L Diesel · CX54 RYD

The Audi A4 passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 108,629 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The September 2025 pass followed a same-day failure logged at identical mileage with no defects cited, a likely administrative or presentation error rather than a mechanical concern. Prior tests show a clean record: a pass on 4 September 2024 at 107,053 miles, a failure with no defects on 13 September 2023 at 105,460 miles, and a pass on 13 September 2022 at 103,255 miles. The recorded mileage is low for a 22-year-old vehicle, totalling 108,629 miles or roughly 4,938 miles per year. The car added only 2,374 miles between the September 2022 and September 2024 tests, and just 1,576 miles across the following year to September 2025. Such limited annual use over a long lifespan suggests extended standing periods, which on a 2004 chassis raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and hidden corrosion even where the MOT shows a clear sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Brake discs and calipers warrant close checking for binding or surface pitting from inactivity. The DVSA record flags no structural integrity issues or exhaust emission failures, but the twin 2023 and 2025 failure entries with zero defects recorded merit confirmation that no outstanding rectification notice applies before purchase.
