2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · GK12 UDJ

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the 4 May 2026 MOT at 193,300 miles. The recent failure on 15 April 2026 for rear tyre lumps, worn rear brake disc and pads, a non‑functioning side repeater and an SRS warning was remedied before the subsequent test, indicating an improving maintenance trend rather than a persistent defect. At 193,300 miles the 2012 Audi A4 averages roughly 13,800 miles per year, well above typical usage for its age. The record shows a rise from 144,476 miles in February 2022 to 163,589 miles in January 2024, an increase of 19,113 miles over 23 months. Mileage climbed to 182,240 miles by March 2025 (+18,651 miles) and reached the current figure by May 2026 (+11,060 miles). The steady upward trajectory, with no long gaps between tests, suggests the car has been driven heavily throughout its life, which accelerates wear on consumables and load‑bearing components. A prospective buyer should give the rear tyre set a thorough visual and tactile inspection for the reported lumps and confirm tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm. The rear brake assembly warrants close examination: the disc was flagged as seriously weakened in April 2026, so measuring disc thickness and checking for scoring or cracking is essential, as is confirming pad thickness above the 1.5 mm minimum. The side repeater and SRS warning lamp must be verified as operational, and any fault codes retrieved from the vehicle’s diagnostics should be cleared. Given the high mileage, a check of suspension bushes, coil springs and mounting points for corrosion or excessive play will help gauge long‑term structural integrity.
