2012 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · LX12 ABK

The 2012 Audi A4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-26 confirming no defects at 165,245 miles. Previous tests from 2024-11-27 (159,721 miles) and 2023-12-08 (153,933 miles) also passed without issues, though a failure on 2024-11-25 (159,653 miles) occurred just two days prior. This anomaly suggests potential transient technical faults or administrative errors, as no defects were recorded in either the failure or subsequent pass. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural issues in the majority of tests indicates consistent maintenance, though the proximity of the failure to the next pass warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 165,245 miles over 14 years aligns with typical usage, averaging 11,803 miles annually. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps between 2022 and 2025. The 2024-11-25 failure occurred at 159,653 miles, followed by a pass 159,721 miles two days later, implying rapid resolution of any underlying issue. The consistent progression of mileage and passing results from 2022 onward suggest the owner prioritized compliance, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific maintenance practices. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and high mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear, as consistent usage may accelerate deterioration. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body seams, warrants attention to rule out corrosion or fatigue. While the MOT history shows no immediate red flags, the absence of detailed defect records means in-person verification of these critical areas is essential to confirm the car’s ongoing reliability.
