AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 June 2026 at 68,640 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following the resolution of significant suspension failures in 2023. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the presence of a cut in the front tyre and a damaged windscreen indicates that recent upkeep has not addressed all minor defects. The recorded mileage of 68,640 miles over an eight-year period aligns with typical usage patterns for this vehicle class. The history shows consistent annual testing, with no significant gaps in the record that would suggest long-term storage or periods of inactivity. The progression of mileage remains linear, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum since its first registration. Prospective buyers should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the rear coil springs, which required replacement in 2023 due to fracturing. Given the history of brake disc and pad wear noted in 2021 and 2022, verify the current thickness and surface condition of all four discs, as these are high-wear items on this model. Additionally, inspect the front tyre sidewalls for the cuts and damage flagged in the 2021 and 2026 tests, and confirm the functionality of the headlamp washer jets, which previously showed signs of mechanical sticking. Buying score: 68. Risk level: Low.

Our Verdict

This 2018 Audi A4 presents a generally s

When viewing this 2018 Audi A4, verify that the suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs which failed in 2023—have been thoroughly checked or replaced with quality parts. Examine the front tyre noted with a cut on the 2026 test, as this will likely require replacement in the near future. Additionally, inspect the windscreen for the reported chip and confirm whether the headlamp washer jet issue from the 2023 test has been fully resolved.

Equipped with a large 2894.0cc petrol engine, fuel economy will reflect its performance capabilities and high displacement, resulting in heavier fuel consumption during urban driving. Road tax and insurance group ratings will sit at the higher end of the A4 spectrum due to the high-performance engine size. Annual maintenance should account for premium-tier servicing, replacement tyres for the larger wheel setup, and potential suspension wear.

Pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically checking the rear coil springs for signs of fatigue, corrosion, or fracture, matching the 2023 MOT failure. Inspect all four tyres for tread depth and surface damage, noting the front tyre cut recorded in the June 2026 MOT. Finally, check the windscreen for chip progression and verify that all exterior lighting and washer jets operate correctly.

First registered in June 2018 and finished in blue with a potent 2894.0cc petrol engine, this Audi A4 has accumulated 68,640 miles. Its MOT history shows four consecutive passes following a failure in May 2023, where multiple structural and mechanical defects were identified. The recent record features minor advisories on tyres, registration plates, and the windscreen, while annual mileage sits comfortably below the national average for the model.

The Audi A4 demonstrates a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7%, though common failure categories across the model line include tyres, coil springs, and engine MIL issues.
