2006 Audi A4 4.2L Petrol · FH06 OSA

The 2006 Audi A4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 141,089 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered the current ownership period in sound mechanical condition. Prior to that, the 26 March 2025 test at 140,090 miles also passed cleanly, showing no advisories on suspension, brakes, or structural integrity. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,054 miles against the car's 20-year life, with the record showing 140,078 miles on 13 March 2025, 140,090 miles thirteen days later on 26 March 2025, and 141,089 miles by April 2026. The sparse history shows only three entries and a single failure on 13 March 2025 at 140,078 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The clean pass thirteen days later supports this reading. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. At 141,089 miles the original suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry two decades of fatigue even without advisories logged. Check for corrosion on subframes and sills given the age, and verify tyre sidewall condition and tread depth independently. The absence of recurring faults across the two clean passes suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring work. The lone 2025 failure with no recorded defect points to a paperwork or test centre error, not neglected maintenance. Given the low annual mileage, expect lighter drivetrain wear but budget for age-related rubber perishing.
