2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DA12 UGL

The 2012 Audi A4 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 15 November 2025 at 187,992 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle cleared the annual roadworthiness check roughly eight months before the current date. Annual mileage averages 13,428 across the car's fourteen-year life, which sits high for a 2012 executive saloon and points to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than sporadic running. The records show steady accumulation: 131,908 miles in June 2021, 142,606 by October 2022, 153,139 in October 2023, 169,332 in September 2024, and 187,992 in November 2025. A gap of roughly sixteen months separates the 2021 and 2022 tests, but the remaining intervals are consistent and the climb of around 14,000 to 18,000 miles per year shows no sudden surge or prolonged dormancy. The DVSA history carries no flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission failures at any stage. A clean sheet across five successive tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within limits, though the absence of advisories means worn tyres, wiper blades, or minor underbody rust may simply have stayed below the fail threshold rather than being corrected early. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the coil springs, subframe mounts, and brake calipers given the 187,992-mile count and the car's age. Verify the timing belt and water pump service against Audi schedules, and check for structural rust on sills and suspension arms that a pass certificate will not detail. The high mileage warrants a cold-start assessment of turbo and drivetrain noise before purchase.
