2016 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · RF16 WLZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑02 at 72,625 mi, yet the same day recorded both a pass and a failure, with the pass still carrying multiple advisories: rear position lamps with half‑source failure, offside front tyre worn to the legal limit, and an oil leak. The maintenance trend is stable rather than improving; the lighting and tyre faults reappear each year, and brake‑pad wear persists across several tests, indicating that corrective actions have not fully resolved the underlying issues. Mileage progression shows roughly 9 000 mi per year since 2022, reaching 72,625 mi by late 2025, which matches the expected ~7 200 mi annual average for a ten‑year‑old Audi A4. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests is about eleven months, while earlier intervals are similar, suggesting consistent usage rather than long storage periods. A buyer should inspect the rear position lamps for partial failure, the offside front tyre for edge wear near the legal limit, and the front suspension arm bushes for wear. Brake pads and discs should be examined for thin wear and surface condition, and the oil system checked for the recorded leak. Also verify rear tyre condition for cuts, the rear child‑seat belt access, and the washer‑fluid reservoir. The recurring lighting defects and tyre wear imply basic upkeep was occasionally neglected, while the persistent brake‑pad thinning points to regular servicing gaps. Overall, the car remains roadworthy but will likely require corrective work on the listed components before a clean MOT is assured.
