2018 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · R121 AAJ

The Audi A4 last passed its MOT on 13 March 2026 at 68,642 miles with no defects recorded. The preceding three annual tests in March 2025, 2024 and the corrective test in March 2023 all returned passes, indicating a stable maintenance regime. The sole failure – a non‑functioning nearside rear seat‑belt buckle at 44,945 miles on 6 March 2023 – was rectified within days, as evidenced by the immediate pass on 10 March 2023. Mileage progression shows a typical usage pattern for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. Between March 2023 and March 2024 the odometer rose by 14,966 miles, then by 5,032 miles to March 2025 and only 3,699 miles to the latest test, suggesting a gradual reduction in annual mileage. The roughly 8,580‑mile‑per‑year average aligns with the expected wear rate for this age group, and the test intervals have remained consistent at twelve months. A buyer should verify the seat‑belt mechanism on the rear nearside, checking that the buckle engages smoothly and that the retractor shows no binding. Although no brake or suspension issues appear in the record, a visual inspection of the brake discs, pad thickness and suspension bushes is advisable given the accumulated mileage. Tyre tread depth, condition of the exhaust system and any signs of under‑body corrosion should also be examined, as these consumables are not captured by MOT advisories but are critical to long‑term reliability.
