2004 Audi A4 1.9L Diesel · PL04 XWC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in August 2023 at 200,293 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This clean result suggests that the car has maintained a consistent mechanical standard despite its high mileage. While a failure occurred in August 2022 at 195,900 miles, the vehicle was rectified and passed just four days later, indicating that the owner was willing to address immediate non-compliance issues rather than allowing minor faults to persist. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per annum. Between August 2020 and August 2021, the car covered 3,769 miles, while the period between August 2021 and August 2023 saw a more significant increase of 8,258 miles over two years. This steady pattern of regular use supports the idea that previous owners utilised the Audi for routine commuting rather than leaving it to sit stationary, which often leads to rubber degradation and brake seizing. Given that the last recorded MOT is now nearly three years old, the current roadworthiness remains unverified and requires an immediate inspection. A buyer should prioritise a check of the structural integrity, specifically the subframes and rear arches, as these are common failure points for this generation of A4. Particular attention must also be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs, as 200,000 miles places significant stress on these components. The lack of advisories in the final test suggests the vehicle was in good condition then, but the elapsed time since the last test means consumables like brake pads and tyres likely require fresh evaluation.
