2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · MJ62 SZX

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently compromised by a clear deterioration trend in the MOT record, specifically concerning the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test on 2025-12-12 was a PASSED test at 165,758 miles, but the record immediately deteriorates with a FAILED test on 2025-12-12 at 165,757 miles, indicating a significant loss of structural integrity. This failure occurred shortly after the initial passing, suggesting that the issue was not a transient fault but a progressive mechanical decline in the rear suspension, which is a critical component for handling and stability. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct gap between the vehicle's age and its accumulated wear. The car is approximately 14 years old, yet it has logged over 11,840 miles annually, averaging roughly 16,500 miles per year. This rapid accumulation suggests that the vehicle has been driven for a substantial period without sufficient maintenance, likely due to reliance on lower-mileage vehicles or extended periods of inactivity. Such a history implies that the suspension bushings and coil springs have likely degraded, and the brake disc wear has accelerated, creating a significant risk of future failure. In conclusion, the vehicle's roadworthiness is critically low due to a combination of a failing suspension system and rapid mileage accumulation that has outpaced the vehicle's age. A buyer must inspect the car for binding rear brakes, worn suspension bushings, and structural rust in the chassis, as the history of multiple failures at this mileage level indicates a high probability of imminent breakdown.
