2009 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DA09 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 133,685 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of consistent clean passes since a failure in 2022, suggesting that the current owner has proactively addressed any mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seventeen-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between the 2022 and November 2025 tests, the car covered 16,533 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 5,500 miles annually. There are no significant gaps suggesting long periods of stagnation which often lead to brake caliper corrosion or perished rubber components. The mileage accumulation is typical for light road use, which reduces the likelihood of extreme drivetrain fatigue often seen in high-mileage vehicles. While the recent history is clear of advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common A4 weak points for this generation. Given the age and mileage, the tester should specifically check the integrity of the front control arm bushes and coil springs, as these degrade regardless of low mileage. Inspect the rear sills and subframe for any structural corrosion, as the MOT only checks for surface rust until it reaches a critical threshold. Since the record shows no recurring brake or emission failures, checking for fluid leaks or uneven brake pad wear remains necessary to ensure the mechanical state is as robust as the paperwork suggests.
