2015 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · KF15 WDE

The most recent MOT test on 2025-08-12 confirms the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, though it follows an unusually tight sequence of two consecutive failures just 12 days prior at 103,862 miles. This pattern—where the car failed twice in quick succession before passing—suggests either an administrative error in the first failure or a temporary operational issue resolved before retesting. The preceding tests in 2024 and 2023 also show no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record with no recurring mechanical failures. However, the lack of advisory notes across all tests means even minor wear or potential issues may not have been flagged, leaving some uncertainty about hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 103,982 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 9,453 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in mileage between tests, though the abrupt jump from 93,829 miles in July 2023 to 101,753 miles in August 2024 suggests a period of higher usage—around 7,924 miles in under a year. This could imply accelerated wear on components like brakes, suspension, or drivetrain, though the MOT history does not provide specific details on what might have prompted the retest in 2024. The absence of any advisory notes also means there is no evidence of pre-existing issues requiring attention before the most recent pass. Given the lack of defects in the latest MOT, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in Audi A4 models at this mileage. Brake systems, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and rotor warpage, warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle was driven aggressively during the period of higher mileage accumulation. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the wheel arches and sills, should also be checked, as this is often overlooked in MOT tests but critical for long-term safety. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are frequently missed in MOT failures despite being safety-critical.
