2009 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FH09 ABO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 22 September 2025 at 212,975 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, characterized by a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both June 2024 and September 2025, the car failed the test just a few miles before a successful result, suggesting that the previous owner addresses specific faults only when prompted by the official testing process rather than performing preventative mechanical maintenance. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 212,975 miles represents an average usage of approximately 12,500 miles per annum. The data shows consistent high-frequency use with 12,200 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 14,160 miles covered between June 2024 and September 2025. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and rubber-related bushings. The lack of long gaps between tests indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which helps prevent internal corrosion from standing, but accelerates the natural wear of consumable parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and subframes, as the high mileage often leads to perished control arm bushes and play. Given the recurring failures immediately prior to passes, the inspector should specifically check for binding calipers, worn brake discs, or exhaust leaks that may have triggered the previous failures. The structural integrity of the chassis, particularly around the rear arches and mounting points, remains a critical concern for a vehicle of this age as high-mileage Audi models are prone to hidden corrosion that standard MOT inspections may not fully catch until it becomes advanced.
