Our Verdict
A sensible choice for long-distance drivers, provided the service history matches the relatively clean recent MOT record. The vehicle shows consistent mileage patterns and no major structural failures in its recent history.
When inspecting this specific RJ60RXP, focus on the diesel engine's performance, particularly looking for any signs of the 'engine mil inoperative' issue noted in aggregate data for this model. Given the recorded mileage of nearly 130,000 miles, you should verify that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1968cc engine.
Negotiate based on the high mileage relative to the 2011 registration year. While the MOT history is relatively stable, check for any recent advisories that may not have been listed in the summary. Ensure the service history is documented to support the vehicle's longevity at this stage of its life.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Audi A4 is designed for efficiency on motorways, though running costs will be influenced by its age and mileage. You should expect moderate fuel economy consistent with a diesel engine of this era.
Tax and insurance groups will vary depending on the specific trim level, but diesel engines often fall into mid-range insurance categories. Maintenance costs for an Audi of this age can be higher than non-premium brands, particularly regarding specialist parts and labour for the 2.0L diesel unit.
Pay close attention to the suspension components. Although this vehicle's recent MOTs did not record failures, the aggregate data for this model highlights coil springs as a top failure reason. A thorough test drive to check for knocks or uneven tyre wear is advised.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and brakes. While the recent MOT history for RJ60RXP is clean, tyres are a common failure point across the wider Audi A4 model range. Finally, verify the functionality of all electrical components to ensure no 'engine mil' or dashboard warning light issues are present.
This 2011 Blue Audi A4 features a 2.0L diesel engine and has covered 129,608 miles as of its last recorded MOT in November 2023. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,156 miles per year, the recent MOT history shows a pattern of passing after initial failures in 2021 and 2023. The vehicle has avoided the common aggregate failure reasons like tyre or coil spring issues in its most recent tests.
Aggregate data for the Audi A4 shows an 80.8% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving tyres, coil springs, and engine management lights.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Excessive Oil Consumption (EA888 Gen 2)Serious
Faulty piston rings on early EA888 engines (CDNB, CDNC codes) cause severe oil burning as carbon blocks the thin oil control rings.
- Water Pump / Thermostat Housing LeakModerate
The plastic water pump and thermostat housing warp and leak coolant, a well-known weakness across the EA888 range. Some cars fail twice before 100k miles.
- Multitronic CVT FailureSerious
Front-wheel-drive automatics use the Multitronic CVT which can judder, flare or lose drive if fluid changes were skipped or the control unit fails.
