2009 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · GU59 HSF

This 2009 Audi A4 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 13 March 2026 at 87,205 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention, though the most recent test was conducted just four months ago—well within the annual MOT cycle. This consistency implies the previous owner has adhered to basic maintenance, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear on high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints. The recorded mileage of 87,205 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 5,130 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The incremental mileage increases—ranging from 1,685 to 4,885 miles between tests—suggest the car has not been subjected to aggressive use or prolonged neglect. The most notable gap is between the 2023 and 2022 tests, where mileage jumped by 4,772 miles in a year, yet even this does not indicate excessive wear. The stability of the mileage pattern reduces concerns over accelerated consumption of consumables like tyres or brake pads, though visual inspection of tread depth and pad thickness remains essential. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person examination of the suspension system, particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue in vehicles of this age. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are intact, so checking for uneven tyre wear, excessive play in the steering, or uneven ride height is critical. Brake discs and calipers should also be inspected for lateral run-out or binding, as these are common failure points in high-mileage Audi models. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as does the exhaust system for leaks or rust through. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas demand thorough visual and functional assessment.
