2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · DV16 XMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift toward deferred maintenance on wear items. While the car passed its test in January 2026 at 110,088 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at 110,086 miles. The transition from a clean record in early 2025 to a list of multiple defects suggests that the owner is now only addressing faults when necessitated by an inspection failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of over 17,000 miles between December 2023 and January 2025, followed by a rapid accumulation of 30,000 miles in the fourteen months leading up to the January 2026 test. This recent surge in mileage explains the sudden wear observed on the front suspension and braking components, as the vehicle has covered a high distance quickly since its last clean 80,000-mile check. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2026 record flagged worn bushes on both nearside and offside front upper suspension arms, alongside pitted and scored front brake discs. Although the fractured nearside rear coil spring was replaced to rectify the failure, the buyer should check the remaining springs for signs of stress or corrosion. The front tyres were noted as being near the legal limit in January; therefore, they are likely nearing the end of their operational life given the high mileage driven since that test.
