2004 Audi A4 2.5L Diesel · GD53 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. The most recent test conducted in January 2022 at 176,827 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in 2021 and 2020. The presence of failures on the same day as passes in 2021 and 2022 suggests minor issues that the previous owner rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between January 2020 at 162,355 miles and January 2022 at 176,827 miles, the car covered 14,472 miles, which represents a steady usage pattern rather than heavy strain or long periods of neglect. However, there is no recorded MOT data since January 2022, meaning the vehicle is currently over four years overdue for its annual safety inspection. This gap is a significant concern as the current state of mechanical components and structural integrity remains unverified. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, given the age and mileage of this Audi model. Older vehicles are prone to rust in the subframes and suspension mounting points. The buyer should also check the suspension bushes and rubber arms for cracking or tearing, as these components degrade over two decades. Since the record is now years old, a close look at fluid leaks, brake caliper condition, and tyre age is essential to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated since its last recorded test.
