2011 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · MJ11 ABV

The Audi A4 most recently passed its MOT on 24 July 2023 at 158,592 miles, yet that certificate has now lapsed by nearly three years relative to today's date. The maintenance trend reads as resolving after earlier defects. In the 2020 and 2022 tests the car failed on steering and brake faults, but same-day or next-day passes followed each failure, and the latest examination surfaced only consumable advisories. Front brake discs showed pitting yet remained serviceable, and no structural integrity or exhaust emissions concerns appeared in the record. Recorded mileage of 158,592 over a fifteen-year life averages 10,573 miles per year, squarely typical for a 2011 executive saloon. From the October 2020 test at 136,658 miles to the May 2022 test at 148,345 miles the vehicle travelled 11,687 miles, a restrained pace. The climb to 158,592 miles by July 2023 added 10,247 miles across fourteen months, confirming steady use. Documentation before late 2020 is missing, so early upkeep cannot be assessed from this data. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension and steering linkage given the May 2022 failure on nearside front track rod end ball joint play and the October 2020 offside front shock absorber misting. Check both track rod ends, suspension bushes and damper bodies for oil seepage or limited damping. The 2020 examiner flagged nearside front service brake excessively binding and offside front binding; verify caliper slide pins and disc run-out to preclude recurring seizure. The 2023 advisories for pitted front brake discs and all-round tyre cracking require measuring disc thickness and scrutinising sidewall condition. Wiper blade defects suggest the previous keeper deferred basic maintenance, though critical mechanical faults were addressed promptly.
