2012 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · MS02 BAL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a currently improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 77,959 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and safety-related concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in 2025, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard regarding regulatory compliance. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,959 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,568 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 7,089-mile interval between the January 2025 and 2026 tests. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and alignment, given the recurring tyre issues noted between 2023 and 2024. The 2024 test specifically flagged tyres worn on the edges and signs of cracking or perishing, which often indicates alignment issues or age-related dry rot rather than simple mileage wear. While the recent MOT is clean, a thorough check of the control arm bushings and shock absorbers is advisable to ensure the previous uneven wear patterns have not caused secondary mechanical damage to the front assembly.
