2014 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · EA14 KPV

The 2014 Audi A4 presents a clean MOT record with no recorded defects across all entries, indicating a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 27 September 2022 at 146,945 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, suggesting the vehicle was in sound mechanical condition at that point. However, the MOT record is now nearly four years old as of June 2026, meaning there is a significant gap in verified roadworthiness data. No test has been submitted since late 2022, so the current mechanical state remains unconfirmed by official inspection. The mileage pattern reveals a notable anomaly. Between the October 2021 test at 126,111 miles and the September 2022 test at 146,945 miles, the vehicle accumulated 20,834 miles in just under eleven months, a sharp increase averaging roughly 1,894 miles per month. Prior to that, the annual mileage was far more moderate, with 23,769 miles covered between October 2020 and October 2021. The recorded mileage has remained static at 146,945 since the September 2022 pass, and the 2022 failure the day before at 146,926 miles shows only 19 miles of difference, suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary or very lightly used since that date. This prolonged period without a new MOT submission raises questions about whether the car has been sitting idle or has been used without valid testing. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage and extended gap since the last test warrant a thorough in-person inspection. The front and rear suspension components, including bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, should be examined closely given the 146,945-mile figure and the period of potential inactivity, which can cause seals to dry out and rubber to perish. Brake discs, pads, and calipers need checking for corrosion and binding, particularly if the car has stood for long stretches. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be assessed for corrosion and emissions compliance, as a vehicle covering high mileage annually can experience accelerated deterioration. Tyre condition, including sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, deserves attention given the lack of recent use. A fresh MOT or pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended before committing to the purchase.
