2009 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FL09 LGJ

The maintenance trend for this 2009 Audi A4 appears stable, supported by a clean MOT history free of recorded defects or advisories. The most recent examination occurred on 16 February 2024 at 100,602 miles, resulting in a pass. Curiously, a test conducted on the same day at 100,597 miles recorded a failure despite listing no defects, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an aborted inspection rather than a mechanical fault. Regardless, the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time. However, no MOT entries exist for over two years, meaning the car currently lacks a valid certificate as of July 2026. The recorded mileage of 100,602 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 5,918 miles, which is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The MOT records substantiate this gentle usage, showing consistent but modest accumulation. Between 18 January 2022 at 84,942 miles and 24 January 2023 at 92,575 miles, the car covered 7,633 miles. The following year, it traveled 8,022 miles, reaching 100,597 miles by February 2024. The mileage has since plateaued entirely, with only five miles recorded between the two February 2024 tests, indicating the vehicle has seen very minimal use recently or has been standing for extended periods. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the official record, prolonged stationary periods and low-mileage aging present specific structural risks. A buyer must inspect the underside thoroughly for corrosion on suspension components, brake lines, and subframes, as standing vehicles often suffer from surface rust and seized parts. The rubber suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing, a common issue on older, lightly used Audis. Brake discs may exhibit standing corrosion, and calipers could be binding due to lack of regular use. Tyres must be scrutinised for date codes and sidewall cracking, as low annual mileage often means original or aged rubber remains fitted. An in-person inspection should verify the exhaust system for leaks and assess the drivetrain for any fluid seeps resulting from extended dormancy.
