Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the exceptio
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis. The rear sub-frame has been flagged for corrosion in both 2023 and 2024, with 'flaking' noted in the most recent instance; you should negotiate the price based on whether this requires professional treatment or replacement. Additionally, check for evidence of recent brake hose replacements, as corrosion to the ferrules was noted in 2024.
Given the low mileage, ensure the service history confirms regular oil changes and, crucially, the replacement of the timing belt and water pump. These components are typically replaced based on age rather than mileage, and a failure on this 1968cc diesel engine would be catastrophic.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys. However, as a 2009 model, it will fall into a tax bracket based on its original CO2 emissions, and insurance groups for the A4 are generally mid-range.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for a car of this age due to the specific suspension and corrosion issues noted in the MOT history. Replacing shock absorbers and suspension arm bushes, as suggested by the 2024 advisories, can be costly on Audi models. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated repairs, are likely to be between £1,200 and £1,600.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The June 2025 MOT noted that the central front, nearside rear, and offside rear undertrays were not fully secure; ensure these have been fixed to prevent debris from damaging the engine or chassis. Inspect the offside rear shock absorber for oil leaks, as 'misting' was recorded in 2024.
Check the suspension components, specifically the front upper arms and rear suspension pins, which have been flagged as worn in previous tests. Finally, examine the rear sub-frame for the flaking corrosion mentioned in the 2024 report to determine the extent of the rust.
This silver 2009 Audi A4 diesel has covered 55,069 miles as of June 2025, which is well below the average for its age. The vehicle has passed its last four MOT tests, though the records from 2023 to 2025 reveal a consistent pattern of suspension bush wear and underbody corrosion. It offers a rare low-mileage example of the model, but the MOT history suggests it is showing its age mechanically.
The Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.8%, with common failure points typically involving tyres, coil springs, and engine management lights.
