2008 Audi A4 2.7L Diesel · KS08 FBC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2025 at 156,935 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a failure just one month prior to that successful test, the immediate rectification suggests the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical failures to maintain legal compliance. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests indicates that the vehicle is maintained to a functional standard rather than suffering from progressive neglect. The recorded mileage of 156,935 miles over 18 years averages to approximately 8,700 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for this age. The data shows consistent operation, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between January 2024 and another 5,000 miles by March 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing history that would suggest long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to perished seals or brake corrosion in older Audis. Despite the clean MOT sheets, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components known to wear on high-mileage A4 models. At 156,000 miles, the front suspension bushings and control arms often show significant rubber degradation that an MOT test may not always catch. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a dangerous threshold. Given the recent failures followed by passes, a close check for oil leaks or worn brake caliper seals is advisable to ensure the previous failures were not related to deeper mechanical issues.
