2009 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · ML09 YOT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a clean pass recorded on 6 November 2025 at 98,660 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of instability between 2022 and 2024, characterized by multiple failures for basic consumables and electrical faults, but it has since stabilized. The most recent test contains no defects or advisories, suggesting recent corrective work has brought the car up to standard. The mileage is low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,804 miles per year. Usage remained very consistent between 2016 and 2021, with only 8,700 miles added over five years. A more significant increase in usage occurred between August 2023 and November 2025, where the odometer rose by 17,182 miles. This shift suggests a change in ownership or usage patterns in the last three years. A buyer should scrutinize the braking system and tyre wear patterns. The tester flagged significantly worn front inner brake discs during the August 2023 failure at 81,477 miles, following a warning about disc wear in August 2022. Recurring issues with the nearside front tyre, including a cut in 2023 and wear close to the legal limit in October 2024, may indicate an alignment problem or uneven loading. The October 2024 failure at 90,122 miles highlighted a fault with the supplementary restraint system warning lamp. While the car passed shortly after, the buyer should verify that the airbag system is fully operational and not merely masked. Given the low overall mileage and the age of the vehicle, checking for perished rubber components and signs of corrosion on the underbody is advised, as the 2019 and 2020 tests noted that underbody shields obstructed a full inspection.
