2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · JL07 DUD

The 2015 Audi A4 has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 17 February 2026 at 90,230 miles passing without any defects. This clean history suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring or critical failures during the mandatory inspections. The absence of advisories or failings in the last two tests indicates no persistent issues with suspension components, brake binding, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. However, the 2024 February test was notably split between two dates—one failure and one pass—though no defects were recorded, which is unusual and warrants closer scrutiny of the service records for that period. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 8,200 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap between the April 2023 test at 67,310 miles and the February 2024 failure at 71,652 miles, covering just over 4,000 miles in roughly ten months. This suggests the vehicle was driven regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could imply consistent use rather than neglect. The rapid mileage jump between the February 2024 failure and the subsequent test three days later—despite no defects—is anomalous and may indicate a retest or administrative oversight rather than an improvement in condition. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items not always captured in a basic MOT. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially since the 2024 retest suggests potential oversight. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be checked, as this is a critical but often overlooked failure point in older Audi models. Finally, the exhaust system—including catalytic converters and oxygen sensors—should be inspected for leaks or damage, as these can affect emissions and performance without always triggering an MOT failure.
