2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · MD16 AEX

The 2016 Audi A4 shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the latest DVSA test on 7 April 2025 at 96,231 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Earlier examinations reinforce this pattern. The tester passed the car without advisory notices on 17 April 2024 at 87,033 miles, on 27 April 2023 at 79,475 miles, on 28 May 2022 at 67,411 miles, and on 22 May 2021 at 52,674 miles. Such a consecutive clean sheet over five years signals consistent mechanical condition with no worsening faults. The mileage progression aligns with typical use for a decade-old executive saloon. From the 2021 test at 52,674 miles to the 2025 test at 96,231 miles, the odometer advanced about 43,557 miles across four intervals, averaging roughly 10,900 miles per year with slight variation: 14,737 miles to May 2022, 12,064 miles to April 2023, 7,558 miles to April 2024, then 9,198 miles to April 2025. No unexplained gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse but clean record suggests the previous keeper adhered to annual testing and likely addressed wear items preemptively. A buyer should still inspect key components in person despite the absence of recorded advisories. At 96,231 miles and ten years old, suspension bushes may exhibit subtle play, coil springs can fracture, and brake discs likely approach renewal limits even if measured within tolerance in April 2025. The tester noted no corrosion or structural concerns, but sills, subframes, and exhaust mounts warrant visual checks for rust given UK winter road salt exposure. The fault-free history implies disciplined ownership, yet consumables such as tyres and wiper blades could have degraded since the last test, which now stands over fifteen months old relative to today's date and therefore requires renewal for road use.
