Our Verdict
This Audi A4 presents a relatively stabl
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise a thorough test drive to listen for any knocking or clonking noises from the suspension, particularly when driving over uneven road surfaces. Given the high mileage, ensure you check the service history for evidence of timing belt replacements, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 2.0 TDI engine that can be costly if neglected.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the age of the vehicle. While the recent MOTs are clear, the suspension components identified in 2022 may have deteriorated further since that inspection. Ask the seller if any suspension work has been carried out since the 2022 advisories were noted.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, this A4 should offer respectable motorway fuel economy, though urban driving will be less efficient. Being a 2013 model, it falls under the older VED (road tax) bands, so verify the current annual cost based on its specific CO2 emissions.
Insurance for a 2013 Audi A4 can be moderate, but factor in that maintenance costs for premium German brands often exceed those of budget hatchbacks. Expect to budget for potential repairs related to the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and suspension components, which are common failure points for high-mileage A4s. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, are estimated at £1,600-£2,000.
Focus your inspection on the suspension arms and bushes, as the 2022 MOT identified wear in the nearside rear and offside front lower arms. Even though these were not failures at the time, they are known weak points for the Audi A4 platform and may require replacement if they have not been addressed.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items. Inspect the bodywork for any signs of corrosion or accident damage, and ensure all electrical features, such as the infotainment system and climate control, are fully operational, as these can be expensive to rectify on a vehicle of this age.
This 2013 Audi A4 has covered 147,969 miles, which is significantly higher than the average for a vehicle of this age. The last two MOT tests in 2023 and 2024 were completed with no recorded defects, showing a clean recent history. However, the 2022 test highlighted early-stage wear on suspension components, which is a common area of concern for this model.
The Audi A4 has a mixed reliability record, with suspension components, coil springs, and windscreen wipers frequently cited as common failure points in aggregate MOT data.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Water Pump / Thermostat Housing LeakModerate
The plastic water pump and thermostat housing warp and leak coolant, a well-known weakness across the EA888 range. Some cars fail twice before 100k miles.
- Multitronic CVT FailureSerious
Front-wheel-drive automatics use the Multitronic CVT which can judder, flare or lose drive if fluid changes were skipped or the control unit fails.
- Timing Chain Tensioner FailureSerious
Pre-2013 EA888 Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines have a plastic timing chain tensioner that can fail, causing chain slack and potential engine destruction.
