2002 Audi A4 2.4L Petrol · LC52 BZM

This 2002 Audi A4 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 16 July 2024 at 80,656 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests in recent years, with no advisories or failures noted since at least 2022. This pattern suggests attentive ownership and a proactive approach to routine servicing, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues emerging over the documented period. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. At approximately 3,361 miles per year over 24 years, the car has seen significantly lighter use than the UK annual average. The recorded mileages show a gradual and consistent accumulation: 78,362 miles in June 2022, 79,673 miles in June 2023, and 80,656 miles by July 2024, representing roughly 1,300 to 1,400 miles per annum in the most recent years. The two tests in July 2024, just one day apart, show only a seven-mile difference, which is consistent with a retest following a minor initial failure that was promptly rectified. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. A vehicle covering such low annual mileage may have spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to deteriorated rubber suspension bushes, perished brake hoses, and corroded brake discs from surface rust that does not get worn off through regular use. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and box sections, as short-trip driving accelerates moisture accumulation and rust formation. Tyre condition deserves close attention; low-mileage vehicles often have tyres that appear adequately treaded but may be aged beyond safe use due to date code deterioration. The engine and transmission should be assessed for smooth operation, as infrequent use can cause seals to dry out and fluids to degrade without the benefit of regular thermal cycling.
