2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DF64 KZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 96,287 miles resulted in a pass despite a defective central exhaust mounting sleeve. This specific issue was first noted back in the November 2024 test, suggesting the owner allows minor mechanical faults to persist for years before addressing them. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of the exhaust defect indicates that components are only replaced when they reach a failure threshold. At 96,287 miles, this eleven-year-old Audi has averaged approximately 8,750 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a premium motor car. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 3,000 miles between late 2024 and early 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and engine seals. A buyer must specifically inspect the nearside front drive shaft boot, as a split in late 2023 often leads to grease leakage and premature CV joint failure if not replaced immediately. The record also shows evidence of uneven tyre wear, with treads reaching 2mm and 3mm limits in 2023, which points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A physical check of the exhaust system is also required to ensure the defective mounting sleeve has not caused excessive vibration or damage to the exhaust manifold itself over time.
