2006 Audi S4 4.2L Petrol · RO06 TNX

The 2006 Audi S4 remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-04-12 at 100,941 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with no recurring issues flagged. The vehicle passed all tests since 2022, including a 2024-03-16 failure that inexplicably noted no defects, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor, unrecorded concern. No structural, braking, or emission issues were documented in the latest assessment, indicating the car has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage of 100,941 miles over 20 years equates to an average of 5,047 miles annually, significantly below typical usage. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 2022-07-19 PASS at 97,106 miles and the next test in 2023-03-20 at 97,392 miles, a mere 286-mile increase over eight months. This suggests prolonged inactivity or minimal use, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, suspension bushes, and corrosion in untreated areas. The 2024-04-04 PASS at 100,171 miles followed a 2024-03-16 failure with no recorded defects, raising questions about the reliability of that test. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes and coil springs, common in older vehicles with low mileage due to infrequent use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, as inactivity can lead to seized components. The exhaust system and body panels require scrutiny for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the low mileage and sparse test intervals imply potential hidden issues that a physical inspection must address.
