2006 Audi A4 4.2L Petrol · MT56 DWE

The maintenance trend for this 2006 Audi A4 appears stable based on the available record, though the absence of a valid MOT since November 2025 raises immediate concerns. The most recent test on 22 November 2022 at 86,130 miles passed without any defects recorded. Prior failures on 21 November 2022 and 6 December 2021 also show zero defects listed, which is highly anomalous and likely points to administrative errors or aborted tests rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle presents a clean mechanical history on paper, but its current roadworthiness cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. The mileage accumulation aligns with light usage, averaging roughly 4,306 miles per year. Between the December 2020 test at 78,553 miles and the November 2022 test at 86,130 miles, the car covered just 7,577 miles over two years. The record shows zero miles driven between the failed and passed tests in November 2022, and only ten miles between the December 2021 attempts. Crucially, no MOT entries exist after November 2022, meaning the vehicle has likely stood stationary or been driven illegally for nearly four years. A buyer must inspect this vehicle thoroughly to verify its condition after such a prolonged period of inactivity. Tyres will almost certainly suffer from flat-spotting and perished sidewalls due to standing under load. Brake discs will likely exhibit heavy surface corrosion, and calipers may be binding from seizure. Rubber suspension bushes and perishable fluid seals degrade naturally with age and lack of use, risking leaks and degraded handling. The exhaust system and underbody require close scrutiny for structural rust, as low-mileage vehicles that sit still often suffer from moisture accumulation in the box sections.
