2004 Audi A4 1.9L Diesel · NU53 DXH

The 2021‑10‑02 MOT at 161,191 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the 2004 Audi A4 is presently roadworthy, though the preceding 2021‑10‑01 test recorded failures in the front brake hoses and anti‑roll bar bushes that were subsequently corrected, indicating a corrective maintenance effort and a trend of recurring but not escalating wear on suspension and braking components. Mileage has risen steadily from 69,838 miles in the 2012 test to 161,191 miles in 2021, a gain of roughly 7,300 miles per year, which matches the typical usage for a 22‑year‑old vehicle and shows no evident periods of prolonged standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear anti‑roll bar bushes, replace any cracked or deteriorating brake hoses, examine the brake discs for pitting or scoring, verify the parking brake’s efficiency, assess tyre wear for edge wear, and look for any signs of structural rust or chassis damage, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history.
