Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While this 2016 Au
Given the recurring suspension arm wear documented in the 2021–2025 MOT records, a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system is essential before finalising the purchase. The 2025 MOT showed no active defects but did not address the worn arm pins and bush deterioration identified in prior tests. Inspect the suspension components for signs of loosening, play, or excessive vibration, and verify that all related fluid levels (brake fluid, coolant) are topped up according to the service history. Negotiate on the price considering the known wear patterns, and consider having an independent specialist review the suspension mounts and control arms to rule out imminent failure. Additionally, confirm the condition of the front brake pads, which were noted as thin in the 2021 MOT report, as this affects both safety and resale value.
As a diesel-powered Audi A4, expect fuel consumption around 6–7 L/100km depending on driving conditions, translating to roughly £400–£550 annually for petrol/diesel prices in 2026. The MOT pass rate for this model averages 80.7% across 307,029 analysed vehicles, indicating moderate reliability but not exceptional consistency. Insurance group will likely fall into the higher end for premium diesel SUV/Auto categories, and the 2021 brake pad thinning suggests potential coming costs for replacement. Typical maintenance intervals for this model include regular oil changes and filter replacements, with suspension component wear being the primary mechanical concern to budget for.
Focus your inspection heavily on the front suspension architecture. The 2021–2025 records consistently flagged near-side and off-side front suspension arm pins and bushes as worn without excessive movement—examine for visible looseness, play in bushings, and integrity of the control arms. Check the condition of the suspension fluid reservoir and ensure the struts are free of leaks. Also inspect the brake calipers and pads, as the 2021 MOT noted thin brake pads; verify rotor condition and parking brake function. Finally, look for any hidden damage to suspension mounting points under the chassis floor and around the wheel wells.
This 2016 white Audi A4 1968cc diesel with registration PL66RXP presents a mixed picture. It has completed five consecutive MOT tests between September 2021 and October 2025, with the latest showing 158,050 miles and no current defects. However, the service history reveals persistent wear on both near-side and off-side front suspension arm pins and bushes across four separate inspections, alongside thin front brake pads noted in 2021. The vehicle's mileage sits well above the model's average annual mileage of 8,134 km per year, reflecting substantial ownership time.
Based on the model aggregate data, the Audi A4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.7%, with suspension-related components (coil springs, windscreen wipers, and suspension arm parts) ranking among the top failure reasons across 307,029 analysed vehicles.
