2010 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · FT10 AEL

The vehicle shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 7 March 2022 at 161,327 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the car has not undergone a recorded inspection in over four years relative to the current date of 13 July 2026. This gap creates a substantial blind spot regarding the current mechanical state of the vehicle. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2021 and March 2022, where the odometer climbed from 144,601 to 161,327 miles. The record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage, showing no advisories or failures across five tests, aside from a single failure on 20 February 2021 that was resolved within two days. A buyer must prioritize a full physical inspection due to the long period of inactivity in the MOT record. While the history shows no recurring faults, a 16-year-old Audi A4 with 161,327 miles typically requires attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness. The absence of any recorded advisories over several years is atypical and suggests the vehicle may have been presented for testing in a highly curated state or that the testers were less rigorous. Particular attention should be paid to structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. The buyer should also verify the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items that do not appear on MOT records but are essential for a high-mileage engine. Checking for binding calipers and tyre perishability is necessary given the potential for the car to have sat idle since early 2022.
