2011 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · J555 ADB

The Audi A4 is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑07 at 111,549 miles recorded no defects. This outcome follows a period of improvement after the 2024‑01‑24 failure, when an off‑side front tyre showed ply exposure and the near‑side front upper suspension arm bush was excessively worn. Both issues were rectified, as evidenced by the clean pass on 2024‑01‑25 and the subsequent advisory on tyre wear at 2025‑01‑17. The latest test therefore reflects a stable or modestly improving maintenance trend, with no active faults reported. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a 15‑year‑old vehicle: 111,549 miles over roughly 15 years averages about 7,400 miles per year. The interval between the 2025‑01‑17 test (105,451 miles) and the 2026‑04‑07 test spans about 15 months, during which only 6,098 miles were added. This extended gap and the relatively low mileage gain suggest periods of reduced driving or storage rather than high‑intensity wear. The data set is otherwise sparse, with only four entries covering the vehicle’s life. A buyer should inspect the front tyre condition closely, checking tread depth and edge wear noted in the 2025‑01‑17 advisory. The suspension system demands scrutiny, particularly the near‑side front upper arm bush and pin for signs of excessive wear or corrosion. Although brake components have not been flagged, a visual check of caliper operation, disc condition, and pad wear is prudent given the vehicle’s age. Finally, examine the under‑body for rust or corrosion, especially around wheel arches and chassis points, to confirm structural integrity beyond the MOT record.
