2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · MD12 DOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on January 12 2026 at 177,875 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes dating back to 2021 suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the immediate mechanical or structural failures typically flagged by the DVSA tester. The mileage pattern indicates consistent high-frequency use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per annum. Between October 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 36,662 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 18,000 miles per year. This lack of long periods of standing suggests the engine is used regularly, which is often beneficial for preventing internal seal corrosion and fluid degradation. However, the high cumulative mileage of 177,875 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain components and the suspension assembly. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of components that are prone to accelerated wear at this stage. A buyer should inspect the suspension for perished bushings and check the coil springs for fractures, as these often fail without triggering an MOT advisory until failure. Given the consistent usage, the brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven scoring, and the rubber bushings should be examined for cracking. The structural integrity, particularly around the subframe and exhaust mounting points, must also be verified to ensure that age-related corrosion has not compromised the chassis despite the lack of recorded test failures.
