AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Audi A4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 12 June 2025 at 116,040 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The June 2025 test cycle shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, both recording no defects, mirroring the 2024 pattern where a fail on 11 June at 110,647 miles was followed by a pass on 14 June at 110,664 miles with no defects noted. These same-day or near-immediate retests with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical defects, and no advisories or corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns appear anywhere in the record. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for an 18-year-old vehicle. The car covered 108,506 miles by June 2023, rose to 110,664 by June 2024, and reached 116,040 by June 2025, equating to roughly 2,158 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and an overall average near 6,447 miles per year. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps exist; the low annual figure implies light use, though standing periods common at this mileage can age rubber components and brake calipers without surfacing in a clean MOT. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the unexplained fail entries that carried no defect codes. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude hidden corrosion on structural members or perished exhaust mounts typical of a 2008 shell. Verify the reason for the repeated same-week fails with the DVSA, as the history implies either tester error or withheld fault data that a clean printout will not reveal.
