2004 Audi A4 3.0L Petrol · RY04 YRX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 18, 2026, at 66,371 miles. The recent maintenance trend shows a slight decline in preparation standards, as the car failed the test just ten days prior due to minor defects including misaligned washer jets, a failed position lamp, and tyre damage. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the appearance of suspension wear in the failure report suggests that pre-test inspections may be neglected by the current owner. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,371 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage, with 4,956 miles covered between June 2025 and 2026, and 3,433 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low rate of travel often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to age rather than mechanical wear, which aligns with the findings noted in the most recent test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as both the nearside and offside upper suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn during the June 2026 test. These components will require replacement to prevent future handling instability and uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted as worn in 2024 at 57,982 miles, suggesting they are approaching the end of their service life. Given the low mileage and high age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and subframes is essential, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from hidden rust if they sit stationary for long periods.
