2004 Audi A4 3.0L Petrol · NH54 YON

The most recent MOT on 2025-05-06 shows a pass at 133,548 miles, but this follows a failure on the same date for the nearside stop lamp(s) not working and a supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp fault. These issues suggest potential electrical or wiring problems, which could indicate aging components or incomplete repairs. The SRS fault is particularly concerning as it relates to safety-critical airbag systems. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake disc wear (noted in 2022 and 2024), suspension bush wear (2022), and tyre wear near legal limits (2024). While some issues were addressed between 2022 and 2024 (e.g., brake discs and suspension), the 2025 failure highlights unresolved or new concerns. The trend shows no clear improvement in critical systems, with repeated warnings about wear and electrical faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 133,548 miles for a 22-year-old car is typical , suggesting average usage. However, the lack of significant variation in mileage over time means it is unclear if the vehicle has experienced periods of long-term inactivity or heavy use. The consistent wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension aligns with expected aging, but the SRS and lighting issues point to potential neglect or unresolved repairs. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the SRS system for active faults, brake discs and pads for uneven wear, suspension components for play or damage, and electrical systems (particularly the nearside stop lamp).
