2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DA61 WCG

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 June 2025 at 153,639 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester recorded no defects at that examination. Prior to this, the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day in both June 2024 and June 2025, though the DVSA entries list no defects against either failure. Such same-day fail-and-pass cycles with zero recorded faults typically indicate administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance, but the buyer should confirm the exact failure reasons from the full DVLA certificate. The odometer shows 142,307 miles at the May 2022 test, rising to 147,158 miles by June 2024 and 153,639 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,900 miles in the thirteen months to mid-2024 and about 6,480 miles in the following twelve months, both figures sitting well below the 10,974 miles per year average for the car's age. A two-year gap separates the 2022 and 2024 examinations, leaving the intervening period unverified. The sparse history with clean advisories suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though the absence of recorded wear items offers no insight into consumable condition. Given the lack of logged advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, no recurring mechanical fault pattern emerges from the data. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, and exhaust emissions, as MOT cleanliness at 153,639 miles does not preclude worn dampers or tired bushings invisible to the annual test. Verify the unexplained 2024 and 2025 failures with the issuing garage before purchase. Standing at over fourteen years old with typical annual mileage, this A4 shows no documentary evidence of neglected maintenance. The same-day failure and pass anomalies warrant documentary clarification, but the recorded trail implies a conservatively used vehicle with no flagged structural or mechanical risks.
