2002 Audi A4 1.9L Diesel · NG52 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean passing record over the last three annual inspections. The most recent test in July 2023 at 251,228 miles resulted in no defects, indicating a consistent standard following an initial failure in early 2020. This suggests that once the previous issues were addressed, the vehicle has been maintained to a level that avoids immediate regulatory failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between March 2020 and July 2021, where the car covered roughly 9,500 miles in just several months. Since then, the usage has reverted to a steady pattern of approximately 8,000 to 9,000 miles annually. This regular use is generally positive for preventing the seal degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of high-mileage components that fall outside the scope of testing. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushings, control arms, and shock enough, which are common failure points on Audi models of this era. Given the mileage exceeds 250,000 miles, the condition of the way mounts and the presence of significant oil leaks are critical areas to verify, as the MOT does not assess mechanical health or fluid integrity.
