2016 Audi A4 2.0L Diesel · RX16 ADV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-05 at 141,516 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-08-04 at the same mileage failed with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a technical anomaly, though the lack of defects in subsequent tests implies no critical faults. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past four years, with no recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns flagged in the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 141,516 miles at 10 years old equates to an average of 14,152 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, with mileage increasing from 115,241 miles in 2022 to 141,516 miles in 2025. No significant gaps in testing or abrupt mileage spikes are evident, indicating regular use. However, the high annual average raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components, particularly brakes, suspension, and exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which are common in high-mileage vehicles. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody corrosion warrant scrutiny, as prolonged use can compromise structural integrity. The absence of recorded defects in MOTs does not eliminate these risks, given the vehicle’s age and usage pattern.
