2007 Audi A4 4.2L Petrol · RS04 LEO

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, demonstrating a consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 80,023 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a minor failure occurred in December 2023 regarding a nearside dipped headlamp, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass suggest the owner is responsive to basic equipment requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of low usage, such as the 525-mile gap between March 2022 and the 827-mile interval between January and December 2023. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and seals. Given the clean history in the most recent three tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than high mileage. Examine the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these often perish regardless of low mileage. The lack of recorded brake advisories is positive, but a manual check for seized calipers or pitted discs is advisable on vehicles that sit for extended periods. Verifying the structural integrity of the subframe and sills is essential to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the chassis over nearly two decades of service.
