2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · L300 NJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 15 April 2026 at 126,017 miles. While the history shows a failure in April 2025, the subsequent rectification and the lack of any advisories in the most recent test indicate that previous mechanical shortcomings have been addressed. The current status suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard, with no outstanding defects reported by the examiner. Total mileage accumulation remains consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,450 miles per annum over its eleven-year life. The record shows a steady usage pattern, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or accelerated corrosion. The jump from 105,780 miles in April 2024 to 114,726 miles by April 2025 shows a period of higher utilization, yet the vehicle successfully cleared its annual inspections during this timeframe. Prospective buyers should prioritize a physical inspection of the rear braking system and wheel bearings, given the specific failures recorded in April 2025. Although the parking brake efficiency and the offside rear bearing were rectified to pass the retest, these components remain high-wear items on the Vivaro platform and warrant a check for any premature play or binding. Confirm that the handbrake lever travel is within factory specifications and listen for any audible drone from the rear hubs during a road test to ensure the previous repairs remain effective. Inspect the undercarriage for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the rear suspension mounting points and the chassis rails, as these are common areas for deterioration on commercial vehicles of this vintage. While the MOT history is clean, surface oxidation can often be overlooked during a standard test. Ensure that the sliding door mechanisms and rear hinges operate smoothly, as these are frequent points of failure that fall outside the scope of the statutory MOT check but significantly impact daily utility.
