2004 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · LT04 RVP

The 2004 Audi A4’s most recent MOT test on 28 March 2024 at 140,672 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current UK standards. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three annual tests—including the duplicate entry for March 2022—suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the lack of defects does not preclude underlying wear. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks at each test implies no obvious neglect in critical areas, but the 2022 duplicate entry raises a minor anomaly that warrants clarification from the seller regarding the retest circumstances. Mileage progression averages approximately 6,400 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are standard, with no prolonged gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage that might indicate extended periods of disuse or heavy driving. The recorded mileage at the last test (140,672) aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, suggesting reasonable usage rather than excessive wear or prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of recorded failures does not rule out gradual deterioration in these areas, which could affect handling and ride quality. Brake systems should also be scrutinised, as binding calipers or uneven wear on discs or pads are common in older Audi models and often go unnoticed without a detailed check. Structural integrity, especially in the wheel arches and sills, should be assessed for corrosion, as this is a critical failure point for vehicles of this era. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions-related components should be examined for leaks or excessive wear, as these are frequent causes of MOT failures in similar vehicles.
