Our Verdict

A reasonable choice for a high-mileage d

Prioritise reviewing the service history to confirm when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this 1968cc diesel engine. Check for documentation regarding the offside outer drive shaft joint repair carried out in June 2026 to ensure a quality part was used.

Given the MOT failure in May 2024 regarding worn tyres on both the nearside rear and offside front, check the current tread depth and brand of tyres. If they are budget brands or showing uneven wear, this could be a point for price negotiation.

The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though urban fuel economy will be lower. Tax and insurance costs are typical for a premium saloon of this age and engine capacity.

Maintenance costs are likely to be moderate, but buyers should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Based on the model's history and age, the estimated annual cost covers fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine servicing.

Inspect the suspension and steering components closely, as aggregate data shows coil springs and suspension arms are common failure points for this model. Specifically, check the condition of the CV boots to ensure the recent repair on the offside outer joint is holding.

Examine the central exhaust system for any signs of instability or corrosion, referencing the 2024 failure. Finally, check for uneven tyre wear across all four corners, which may indicate a need for wheel alignment or suspension work.

This grey 2014 Audi A4 has recorded 124,658 miles. Its MOT history includes failures in 2024 and 2026 relating to tyres, the exhaust system, and a CV boot, all of which were resolved to achieve a pass. The vehicle's mileage is higher than the model average, but the recent June 2026 test was passed with no defects recorded.

The Audi A4 maintains a solid aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with suspension components being the most frequent points of failure.
