Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a high-mileag
When inspecting this specific S4, focus on the mechanical integrity of the 2700cc petrol engine. Given the high mileage of over 173,000 miles, you should request evidence of major component replacements, such as timing belts or water pumps, as these are critical for this engine type.
Negotiate based on the age and mileage; while the MOT history is clean, the high mileage means wear-and-tear items will likely need frequent attention. Check the service history thoroughly to see if the high mileage has been matched by regular oil changes and preventative maintenance.
Expect running costs to be higher than a standard saloon due to the 2.7L engine capacity and performance positioning. Fuel economy will be a primary consideration, and you should budget for premium fuel if recommended by the manufacturer.
Insurance groups for an Audi S4 are typically higher than average, and maintenance costs will reflect the specialized parts required for this model. An estimated annual budget should account for higher-than-average servicing costs due to the vehicle's age and mileage.
Based on aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension arms and tyres, as these are common failure points across the S4 range. Even though this specific vehicle has had no recorded defects in its recent MOTs, these components are prone to wear.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for this model. Given the silver paintwork, check for any signs of corrosion or bodywork issues that may not be captured by a standard MOT inspection.
This silver 2000 Audi S4 has covered 173,393 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 4,771 miles per year, the vehicle has secured four consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects since 2022. This suggests a consistent level of compliance regarding its structural and safety requirements over the last few years.
Aggregate data from 1,482 vehicles shows an 83.9% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms.
