2017 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · LM17 XTU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by clean passes across the three most recent inspections. The most recent test conducted on 8 December 2025 at 138,269 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the car is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted on 6 October 2023 at 117,604 miles, the immediate subsequent pass suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly to maintain legality. The mileage data reflects high annual usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,300 miles per year. Between August 2022 and September 2024, the car covered 20,754 miles, showing a consistent and heavy usage pattern rather than long periods of inactivity. The accumulation of 12,618 miles between the September 2024 and December 2025 tests confirms the vehicle remains in regular use, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mile examples. Given the high mileage, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-frequency stress. The front control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers require close scrutiny for signs of tearing or weeping, as these often reach the end of their service life at this interval. The brakes should be checked for caliper binding or uneven thinning of the discs. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion issues, the integrity of the chassis should be verified to ensure that high-mileage exposure has not led to accelerated fatigue in the mounting points.
