2006 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RJ56 ACV

The vehicle passed its March 2025 MOT at 183,955 miles with no defects recorded, indicating it is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears stable, as every test since 2023 has passed without any advisories or failures. The same-day pass and fail at the same mileage in March 2025 is unusual; it likely reflects a retest after a minor issue was rectified, but the record does not specify what that issue was. Overall, the history suggests consistent upkeep, though the lack of any recorded defects across multiple tests is notable for a car of this age. The mileage pattern shows steady annual use. Between March 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 5,706 miles, and from February 2024 to March 2025, it covered 6,601 miles. This consistent accumulation points to regular driving rather than extended periods of standing. The overall average of roughly 9,198 miles per year over 20 years is typical, implying neither excessive wear from high mileage nor degradation from underuse. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should inspect common wear items on a high-mileage 2006 Audi A4. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or deterioration, as these are prone to failure. Examine brake discs and pads for wear, and listen for binding calipers during a test drive. Structural integrity is critical; look for corrosion on subframes, sills, and floor pans. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks, and verify that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer’s schedule, as this is a high-risk item on these engines.
