2006 Audi A4 3.0L Diesel · ME06 AEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 213,062 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 23 January 2026 and 2 August 2023, the records show these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day, resulting in clean passes. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 10,653 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between August 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 199,091 to 208,267 miles. The most recent interval shows a slower accumulation of mileage, with only 4,795 miles added between September 2024 and January 2026. The MOT history is unusually clean for a twenty year old vehicle with over 200,000 miles. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or exhaust emissions is atypical for this age and mileage. This lack of data suggests the vehicle may have undergone significant preventative maintenance outside of the MOT process, or that the testers were not exhaustive in their reporting. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as structural rust is common in these models but not explicitly flagged here. Given the high mileage, checking for oil leaks from the engine and gearbox and assessing the condition of the coil springs is essential. The lack of recorded wear on consumables over several years warrants a close look at the remaining tyre tread and brake pad thickness to ensure they are not overdue for replacement.
