Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this vehicle. Whil
Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the drivetrain and suspension. This vehicle has a recurring history of CV boot and drive shaft issues appearing in 2024, 2025, and 2026, suggesting these are weak points on this specific car. Ensure you have receipts for the repairs carried out in August 2026 to address the split CV boot and insecure undertray.
Given the mileage, a full service history is essential, though the MOT records only provide a snapshot of safety and emissions. Negotiate the price based on the inevitable need for high-mileage component replacement, such as the shock absorbers and suspension bushes that were flagged as worn or misting in 2025.
The 1968cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, but maintenance costs will be higher than average due to the 208,211-mile odometer reading. Expect more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension bushings.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax for a 2012 diesel variant, and insurance. Maintenance will likely be the most volatile cost, as high-mileage Audis often require more expensive specialised parts for the drivetrain and electronics.
Pay close attention to the front drive shafts and CV boots, as these have caused multiple MOT failures and advisories between 2024 and 2026. Listen for clicking sounds during tight turns, which would indicate the joints are failing again. Inspect the front brake discs for the surface corrosion noted in the September 2026 test.
Check the suspension for play, specifically the upper and lower arm bushes which were flagged in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, inspect the rear tyres and shock absorbers, as the 2025 record noted cracking in the tread and oil misting on the nearside rear shock.
This 2012 black Audi A4 diesel has covered 208,211 miles, which is substantially higher than the model average. The MOT history reveals a persistent pattern of wear and tear, specifically regarding drive shaft CV boots and suspension components. Recent records from 2026 show a failure and subsequent pass, though advisories regarding brake disc corrosion remain.
The Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.8%, with common failure points typically being tyres, coil springs, and engine management lights.
