2005 Audi A4 1.8L Petrol · RF05 WXS

The Audi A4 passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2025 at 165,079 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the vehicle failed the test one week earlier on 27 October 2025 at the same mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A prior failure on 2 January 2024 at 154,736 miles also recorded no defects, reinforcing a pattern of non-mechanical test rejections rather than worsening condition. The odometer shows 165,079 miles against a 2005 build date, averaging roughly 7,861 miles per year which is typical for the age. The record jumps from 141,964 miles on 15 December 2022 to 154,736 miles on 2 January 2024, a gap of over a year with no intermediate test. The final 10,343 miles to November 2025 accumulated slowly across nearly two years. Sparse entries and clean defect lists mean the history gives limited insight into wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 21-year age and high mileage. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural advisories, but testers recorded nothing at all across five visits, so underlying fatigue in subframes or mounting points will not show in this record. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures with the DVSA, as repeated rejected tests at identical mileage point to paperwork or lighting faults absent from the advisory field. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person, since these consumables fall outside the logged history yet degrade with standing time between the sparse annual tests.
