2010 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · LS10 YBB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-04 at 348,351 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2026-02-02 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects, raising questions about the cause of the failure. Subsequent tests in 2025 and 2024 showed consistent passing with no defects, indicating the car has generally met roadworthiness standards. The lack of specific defect details in the failed tests limits definitive conclusions, but the recent pass implies the vehicle is currently compliant. The car’s mileage of 348,351 miles at 16 years old equates to an average of 21,772 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. A notable jump from 208,832 miles in 2025 to 348,351 miles in 2026 suggests rapid accumulation over 139,519 miles within a single year, which may accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain. The sparse MOT record between 2024 and 2026, with no intermediate tests, leaves gaps in assessing long-term maintenance consistency. A buyer should prioritise inspecting high-mileage wear points, including brake discs, suspension bushes, and coil springs, which are prone to degradation under such usage. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is positive, but the lack of detailed failure reports means hidden problems could exist. Focus on fluid leaks, exhaust emissions, and tyre tread depth, as these are common concerns for vehicles with such extensive mileage. The car’s compliance at the latest test is reassuring, but its history demands a thorough mechanical check before purchase.
