2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DP15 LSY

The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking back through the records to 2021, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably stable maintenance trend, passing five consecutive annual inspections without a single recorded fault. This consistency is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and strongly indicates a disciplined approach to upkeep and a high level of mechanical integrity. With a recorded mileage of 67,683 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,153 miles per year. This usage profile is considered typical to slightly below average for a premium executive saloon, suggesting the car has not been subjected to the excessive wear associated with high-mileage motorway commuting, nor has it suffered from the stagnation issues often found in very low-mileage examples. The mechanical components, including the drivetrain and suspension, should theoretically retain a significant amount of their original service life. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must perform physical inspections focused on age-related degradation rather than wear and tear. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for any signs of binding, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the braking system fully scrubbed and lubricated. Further verification should focus on calendar-based maintenance rather than mileage intervals. The buyer should scrutinise the service book to ensure that engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid have been replaced according to the manufacturer's time intervals, as these fluids degrade chemically over time. Additionally, the health of the 12V battery should be tested, and the rubber suspension bushes should be inspected for dryness or splitting. A test drive should be used to listen for any subtle knocks or vibrations that may not trigger an MOT failure but would indicate the onset of age-related component fatigue.
