2009 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · OU09 JVX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent inspection conducted in May 2023 at 145,516 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two miles prior on the same day. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative or sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test, indicating that the owner is willing to address compliance issues to keep the vehicle roadlegal. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle subjected to moderate-to-low use, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between June 2020 and June 2022, the car covered 15,903 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The jump of 15,202 miles between June 2022 and May 2023 represents a slight increase in annual usage but remains within typical parameters. Such consistent mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to seized brake components or perished rubber hoses. Given the clean MOT history devoid of recurring advisories, a buyer should focus on age-related degradation rather than documented mechanical neglect. At 145,500 miles, the suspension bushings, control arm bolts, and shock absorbers require close physical inspection for leaks or tearing, common on this chassis. The buyer should also check for surface corrosion on the sills and subframe points, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it becomes a failure. Since the last test was over three years ago, a thorough check of the fluid levels and brake line integrity is essential to ensure no new faults have developed since the 2023 certification.
