2010 Audi S4 Avant 4.2L Petrol · MA10 FDU

The 2010 Audi S4 Avant presents a fully stable and consistently clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 7 November 2024 at 97,248 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This is not an isolated result. The vehicle has passed every single MOT examined in this record, spanning from November 2020 through November 2024, with no defects flagged at any test. The trend is unambiguously stable and well-maintained. The mileage accumulation is notably low and remarkably consistent. Over the five-year period from November 2020 at 75,854 miles to November 2024 at 97,248 miles, the vehicle covered just 21,394 miles, averaging roughly 4,279 miles annually. The intervals between tests show steady, incremental use: 81,733 miles in November 2021, 90,344 miles in December 2022, and 93,294 miles in December 2023. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. The current recorded mileage of 97,248 miles aligns precisely with the November 2024 test, and as of June 2026, the certificate is now approximately 19 months old, meaning a fresh test is due imminently. Despite the clean MOT record, the S4 Avant's 3.0-litre supercharged V6 and quattro drivetrain demand careful physical inspection. The supercharger and its associated cooling system should be examined for oil seepage or whine under load. The dual-clutch S-Tronic gearbox, if fitted, requires assessment for judder at low speed and smooth engagement, as mechatronic failures on this unit are costly. Front suspension lower arms and track rod ends should be inspected for play, given the performance weight of this drivetrain over 16 years of use. Structurally, the subframes, inner wing arches, and sills must be checked for corrosion, particularly around the rear trailing arms and battery tray area where Audi models of this era are known to trap moisture. The brake discs and pads should be measured, as the S4's performance specification means these components wear faster than standard A4 variants. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent Audi specialist is strongly recommended before commitment.
